Sunday, my favorite day to walk in KL. No cars or motorbikes to dodge. Even the stray dogs seem to be resting and give us reprieve from a chase. Around every corner, a bloom and reminder that even in the city, we are in what was once a more lush rainforest. melissasmithyoga

Kuala Lumpur: A city that contains so much congestion and construction. Dull and yet vibrantly alive. Clouds loom threatening afternoon rain on one horizon and yet they break showing the sun over the mosque on the other.

So Runs The World Away

Lantern, So Runs The World Away, an album by Josh Ritter on Spotify

For every cry in the night Somebody says, “Have faith!” "Be content inside your questions" "Minotaurs inside a maze" Tell me what’s the point of light That you have to strike a match to find? So throw away those lamentations We both know them all too well If there’s a book of Jubilations We’ll have to write it for ourselves So come and lie beside me darling And let’s write it while we still got time So if you got a light, hold it high for me

But, Love is resilient, powerful, never to be completely dissolved. Once nurtured, it begins to pulse and come alive as if it were being fed by my own blood and tears. Fully formed, it suffocates the Fear within because it is impossible to have fear and love at the same time. Love replaces Fear.

There is a list created by Jack Kerouac on the essentials for the modern writer. It’s a good, quirky wake you up when you need to be charged with creativity list. Inspired, I made my own list of essentials. Only it’s more of a get your ass in gear, take good care of yourself and respect others...

DAY 8

Sometimes I want to bury my head in flowers,

until I feel no more, no less.

And stay like that, eyes-closed,

a hundred years. 

Inhale the pollinated nothingness,

where I’m neither the center nor the end of me.

Where every mouth is full of petals

and we get kissed by bees. 

[melissasmithyoga]

Kissed by bees, yes.

Loved Yoga to the People. Packed mat to mat literally... didn't matter. People from all walks of life, payment or no... there was yoga. All bodies did rise.
