“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi
The Blind Men and the Elephant by John Godfrey Saxe It was six men of Hindustan To learning much inclined, Who went to see the Elephant (Though all of them were blind) That each by observation Might satisfy the mind. The First approached the Elephant And happening to fall Against his broad and sturdy side At once began to bawl: “Bless me, it seems the Elephant Is very like a wall.” The Second, feeling of his tusk, Cried, “Ho! What have we here So very round and smooth and sharp? To me 'tis mighty clear This wonder of an Elephant Is very like a spear.” The Third approached the animal, And happening to take The squirming trunk within his hands, Then boldly up and spake: “I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant Is very like a snake.” The Fourth reached out an eager hand, And felt about the knee. “What most this wondrous beast is like Is mighty plain,” quoth he; “'Tis clear enough the Elephant Is very like a tree!” The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear, Said: “E'en the blindest man Can tell what this resembles most; Deny the fact who can, This marvel of an Elephant Is very like a fan!” The Sixth no sooner had begun About the beast to grope, Than, seizing on the swinging tail That fell within his scope, “I see,” quoth he, “the Elephant Is very like a rope!” And so these men of Hindustan Disputed loud and long, Each in his own opinion Exceeding stiff and strong, Though each was partly in the right And all were in the wrong. So oft in theologic wars, The disputants, I ween, Rail on in utter ignorance Of what each other mean, And prate about an Elephant Not one of them has seen! Anot
After a year of not self harming after five years of continuous grief, I treated myself to this tattoo set. I used to be the bird on the left, stuck wondering what to do and where to go but doing nothing about it. I am now free and very much so the bird on the right. Also inspired by Regina Spektor’s “Two Birds”.

Draft horses are known for being tough — but even they aren’t tough enough to survive New York’s abusive horse-drawn carriage industry.
Carriage horses work for an average of only 4 years. (Horses for the mounted police can work for 15.) The short lifespan is due to medical neglect, inadequate diet, long work hours in every kind of weather, and paltry living conditions while working in stressful city environments they’re just not meant for.
And once they’ve outlived their usefulness to the industry, “retiring” carriage horses can be auctioned for slaughter.
The Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages is an advocacy group working to end this cruelty, and has started a petition on Change.org to support a ban being proposed by New York state Senator Tony Avella. Will you sign the Coalition to Ban Horse-Drawn Carriages’ petition calling on the New York state Senate to shut down NYC’s abusive horse-drawn carriage industry?
Public outcry has peaked after the collapse and death of a New York City carriage horse named Charlie last month. Six other horses have been involved in traffic accidents or collapsed in the street since July. Now is the time to shut the horse-drawn carriage industry down.

Lokah Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu
(ORAL TRADITION) LOKAH SAMASTA SUKHINO BHAVANTU May all beings everywhere be happy and free and may the thoughts, words and actions of my own life contribute in some way to that happiness and to that freedom for all.
This is the mantra of Jivamukti Yoga, chanted in almost every class. By giving voice to it, we set the intention to create a world that is harmonious and peaceful. We dedicate our yoga practice to seeing this reality manifest. This mantra inspires us to perform actions that benefit all beings, human and non-human alike.
When we practice yoga asana, we practice taking the seat of others. We practice being the moon, the warrior, the dog, the cow, the cobra, and the trees. We take their form and connect with their essence. With time and practice, we begin to develop empathy for all beings and realize that we are not different from each other after all. We learn that all beings share the desire for happiness and freedom.
