Butterfly, Tree, & Tias Wisdom

We had the chance to visit Natural Bridges and go to the Butterflies. We spoke in our 'butterfly voices' and enjoyed the beauty of the quietness.  (Apparently, there were butterflies flying above :).

Advice from a Butterfly (Ilan Shamir)

Let your true colors show

Get out of your cocoon

Take yourself lightly

Look for the sweetness in life

Take time to smell the flowers

Catch a breeze!

We stayed in a cabin and reflected on

Advice from a Tree (Ilan Shamir)

Stand Tall and Proud

Sink your roots into the earth

Be content with your natural beauty

Drink plenty of water

Enjoy the view!

Cricket was pretty intrigued with the sea lions.  We enjoyed walks along the beach.

Tias Little was an amazing yoga instructor.  His gentle teaching and instruction was awesome.  There was a class of about 100, yet he connected with each and our individual challenges.   Some of the poses were not so easy to describe and his assistants were ever so helpful.  I met a woman whose son had RP.  We connected.  I hope our paths cross again. 

Tomorrow is already Friday!  I'll leave you with a quote from the Yoga Retreat:

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and

try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and

like books that are written in a very foreign tongue.

Rainer Maria Rilke
