A glimse into the now with Star Yantra. Star Yantra is a poetry artcar that started as a black, 1997 SL500 Mercedes convertible. Using a limited palette of five metallic leaf acrylics, blended to create the colors you see, I sought to convey cosmic joy, a reflection of earth in the sky mirror.

The covid continues. Such an interesting opportunity to be in witness.
This offering was inspired when creating a poetry lesson for youth of all ages called “Life After ~ Integrating the New You. Sometimes I am struck by a torrent of language. This is one such instance — and in it I realize I am a “political spiritual” poet. The meeting of the two fascinates me…
So everyone is talking about when the quarantine is going to be lifted. Some states are already allowed to incorporate some activity, and although many of us in California have to wait a few more weeks, we might as well imagine what it might look like when we start to put our toes back into the water of our collective gathering spots…

What do interesting people do to combat boredom besides looking it up in the dictionary? Well, for starters, they do anything but say “I’m bored.” That’s because boring is a state of mind, and by all accounts, you have to be pretty boring yourself to actually be bored. Seriously, life is full of…
As first published by Yoga Journal in May 1997, by Blake More…What do you do when your yoga practice becomes just one more way of telling yourself you’re not good enough? A few summers ago, I took a two-week teacher training course in southern California. During the training, two-thirds of the 24 women present admitted to having a troubled relationship with food. At least six—including myself—had once been hard-core…

I had a few teachers ask me to create an online lesson so my students could feel my energy in the request for writing. The result is this multimedia lesson for coping and creating during our online-learning, “shelter in place” time. This lesson is completely stand alone, and can be read, watched, and/or listened to. It is almost like I’m in the classroom with you!

I woke up with such a strong urge to put on one of my spirit animal costumes and go dance with my kale in the garden, reflecting the start of a good day of shelter in place, diamonds of night dew glistening in the pale morning light…
