Yesterday, after practicing 108 Sun Salutations at the top of an inactive volcano (Mt. Tabor) in celebration of the summer solstice, all I felt was love and gratitude. Sure, today my hamstrings and my shoulders ached like a mother, but I still feel remarkably uplifted and light. I am thankful for every bit of sunlight that gets past the stubborn Portland clouds, and I am thankful for the fruits of the earth, for my strange and beautiful family, for my friends and loves far and near, for my teachers, for words, for everything that is coming.
