Yoga
 
 
The two forces of mind and prana maintain the rhythm of life and consciousness. Everything in the universe is evolving. Matter in its ultimate form is energy. The goal of yoga is to turn the body into solid energy. – Hatha Yoga Pradipika
 
Namaste means "the divinity within me salutes the divinity within you."
 
 
Eagle Pose Garudasana
 
(gah-rue-DAHS-anna)
 
Garuda = the mythic "king of the birds," the vehicle of Vishnu. The word is usually rendered into English as "eagle," though according to one dictionary the name literally means "devourer," because Garuda was originally identified with the "all-consuming fire of the sun’s rays."  
  • Strengthens and stretches the ankles and calves

Contraindications and Cautions
 
Students with knee injuries should avoid this pose, or perform only the leg position described in the Beginner's Tip below.
 
Step by Step
 
  1. Stand in Tadasana. Bend your knees slightly, lift your left foot up and, balancing on your right foot, cross your left thigh over the right. Point your left toes toward the floor, press the foot back, and then hook the top of the foot behind the lower right calf. Balance on the right foot.
  2. Stretch your arms straight forward, parallel to the floor, and spread your scapulas wide across the back of your torso. Cross the arms in front of your torso so that the right arm is above the left, then bend your elbows. Snug the right elbow into the crook of the left, and raise the forearms perpendicular to the floor. The backs of your hands should be facing each other.
  3. Press the right hand to the right and the left hand to the left, so that the palms are now facing each other. The thumb of the right hand should pass in front of the little finger of the left. Now press the palms together (as much as is possible for you), lift your elbows up, and stretch the fingers toward the ceiling.
  4. Stay for 15 to 30 seconds, then unwind the legs and arms and stand in Tadasana again. Repeat for the same length of time with the arms and legs reversed.
Poetry 
 
Horizon’s Place And Time Meet by Cara E. Moore Chapbook 
 
 
A Character
 
William Wordsworth
 
By Simran Khurana, About.com Guide
 
Poem lyrics of A Character by William Wordsworth.
 
I marvel how Nature could ever find space 
For so many strange contrasts in one human face: 
There's thought and no thought, and there's paleness and bloom 
And bustle and sluggishness, pleasure and gloom.
 
There's weakness, and strength both redundant and vain;
Such strength as, if ever affliction and pain
Could pierce through a temper that's soft to disease,
Would be rational peace--a philosopher's ease.
 
There's indifference, alike when he fails or succeeds,
And attention full ten times as much as there needs;
Pride where there's no envy, there's so much of joy;
And mildness, and spirit both forward and coy.
 
There's freedom, and sometimes a diffident stare
Of shame scarcely seeming to know that she's there,
There's virtue, the title it surely may claim,
Yet wants heaven knows what to be worthy the name.
 
This picture from nature may seem to depart,
Yet the Man would at once run away with your heart;
And I for five centuries right gladly would be
Such an odd such a kind happy creature as he.

Express Yourself
 
(Spoken:)
 
Come on girls
Do you believe in love'
'Cause I got something to say about it
And it goes something like this
 
Chorus:
 
Don't go for second best baby
Put your love to the test
You know, you know, you've got to
Make him express how he feels
And maybe then you'll know your love is real
 
You don't need diamond rings
Or eighteen karat gold
Fancy cars that go very fast
You know they never last, no, no
 
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can't come down
[You'll never come down]
 
(chorus)
 
Long stem roses are the way to your heart
But he needs to start with your head
Satin sheets are very romantic
What happens when you're not in bed
 
You deserve the best in life
So if the time isn't right then move on
Second best is never enough
You'll do much better baby on your own
[Baby on your own]
 
(chorus)
 
Express Yourself
[You've got to make him]
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
 
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
 
Intermediate:
 
And when you're gone he might regret it
Think about the love he once had
Try to carry on, but he just won't get it
He'll be back on his knees
 
To express himself
[You've got to make him]
Express himself
Hey hey
 
What you need is a big strong hand
To lift you to your higher ground
Make you feel like a queen on a throne
Make him love you till you can't come down
[You'll never come down]
 
(intermediate)
 
So please
 
(chorus)
 
Express yourself
[You've got to make him]
Express himself
Hey, hey, hey, hey
 
So if you want it right now, make him show you how
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
Express yourself
[You've got to make him]
So you can respect yourself
Hey, hey
 
So if you want it right now, then make him show you how
Express what he's got, oh baby ready or not
