This Yoga Nidra practice will take you on a brief journey to a waterfall.

At our small cabin, the lake is moving and churning today, thunder threatens, the light bounces off the waves. I step into the water and pull myself under the surface and open my eyes, as beams of light reflect off tiny particles. And I become aware that I am this too, a tiny particle in an ever changing sea of light and life.

Entanglements is about the connections we share with the big and small, the living and dying.

Perhaps stories,  our mental maps, our perceptions of the world are only illusions, marked by clear or faint, experiences along the path. We do seem to have an insatiable need to create meaning, to connect seemingly random memories, to help us make sense of the world, and our place in it.

This story threads together maps, owls and wolves.

This Yoga Nidra practice walks you across the fields of a farm.

Very early, on the second last morning of my month in India I crossed the clear, blue-green Ganges. The narrow, usually packed footbridge was quiet. Ahead was a woman, her dark pink sari fluttering in the breeze.  The mountains rise up north of the town, cast their long shadows, keeping the air cool in the late winter morning.

This story is about a conversation at the edge of the Ganges.

One summer afternoon a thousand strings of light emerged from this wall of green and drifted into space, each end strapped firmly to the tiniest of spider babies, little parachutists, bravely and willingly allowing themselves to be carried by a faint breeze into the unknown.

This story weaves together images of parachuting spider babies, an ancient turtle, love and loss.

I was hiking in Utah once and had to keep myself from diving off a cliff. L'appelle de vide, it is called. The call of the void. Surprisingly there is little written about this. Doesn't everyone feel the urge to enter the  void at some time in their life? Maybe not.)
