Yoga has helped me and my daughter deal with chronic pain--and I would love to hear more about what you've learned) to seeing loveliness through eyes of compassion in someone most would prefer to ignore to those Advent reflections.

It reminds me of a saying that got carved into me as a result of reading Well, a memoir by Sarah Thebarge, about the three months she spent working in a mission hospital in Togo. The saying: "Love looks around." <br /><br />The Advent book is so beautifully written! I've made a note to look for it.

What a happy place to be with all that learning and teaching... how rich your days. So happy for you, my friend. And yes, I, too, need poems to remind me. This one is lovely.

I love it....and your yoga work with added knowledge of neuroscience is adding beauty to our world. Thank you. I loved advent growing up...and somehow, it didn't follow me into my family. The "too busy" won out somehow. I am taking your recommendation for this book!

I hope all is going well in that new location. I read your poem on Michelle's padlet,and now here it is again. I love the connection you made between the tree and the human. We are in this circle together, as also shown in the excerpts shared from that book. Thanks for that. Hope you have had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too. It's a darling picture of whom I assume is your grandson. Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.com
