[tap-root-yogini]

The ingredients to setting the pace of the day: Apples not oranges, oatmeal and PG Tippsy tea w/a splash of lemon and a walk in Nature open to greeting and engaging with friendly strangers I might meet on the trail. A green warm open heart! 💚 A yogic life! 🙏🏼#applesandoatmeal #myopenheart #naturelover #naturewalker #firstnatureyoga #myyogicliferolls #higherlove #reachingwithoutseeking

I am not the type. I do not and never have craved to see my name carved on a building, up in lights or tattooed on someone's arm. I do not live to have a yoga mat named after me. If I leave a legacy, a memory of my existence on this planet as Millie Johanna Heur, may it be a light in the hearts, minds and guts of those who met me through my words or deeds. #thisadorablewildlife #myyogicliferolls #higherlove #myopenheart #myyogiclife #reachingwithoutseeking

It is wild but never disorderly. It is both simple and complex. It is basic and also highly evolved. It is tightly grounded in the earth as it freely grows and rises above it all. It is the sum of all of its parts and that adds up to a whole lot and well. #naturelover #wildflowers #thistooismyyogiclife #naturewalker #myyogicliferolls #mynaturepractice #firstnatureyoga

Mosquito at my ear -- does it think I'm deaf? 🤓 That's by the great Haiku poet, Issa! Reading some Haiku this morning, enjoying them and feelin' goofy groovy. Anyone else? 😉 #thisadorablewildlife #myyogicliferolls #haiku #issa #mosquito #naturelover

I sit with a tree and we say, you to me: May you be healthy, may you prosper in all ways for your greater good and may you know a feeling of well-being that is not predicated on your circumstance or condition. May we all! Meditation Monday. #thistooismyyogiclife #growthmatters #thisadorablewildlife #firstnatureyoga #meditationmonday #reachingwithoutseeking

“I wouldn’t want to make it look like a gardener’s garden, all clipped an’ spic an’ span, would you?” he said. “It’s nicer like this with things runnin’ wild, an’ swingn’ an’ catchin’ hold of each other.” - Dickon, Secret Garden 💚😊 The gardens, both wild and tidy are resurrecting in the surge of life that comes with the season of spring. Perfect time of year to celebrate Easter and the resurrection of Christ. Happy holiday to those who celebrate. To the others, use this day to celebrate resurrections of things you hold or held high in your lives. Springtime is the perfect time for it. 😊🌱 #thisadorablewildlife #inthegarden #growthmatters #thistooismyyogiclife

To face and feel the light while in the shadows cast by a doubt. I am forever waking, learning, growing. I am the perpetual student and master of my life. #thisadorablewildlife #thistooismyyogiclife #taprootyogini #worrycomesandgoesandflows #doubt #studentofmyownlife

I know with whom to consult when troubled about growing and blooming under difficult circumstances. #sidewalkflowers #thisadorablewildlife #reachingwithoutseeking #higherlove #growing #springhassprung #flowers (at Studio A Dance (Los Angeles))

Within yourself, no fixed positions: Things as they take shape disclose themselves. Moving, be like water, Still, be like a mirror. ~ Attributed to Guanyin Good morning! I know I should be thinkin' green but I have a Blue Mind and after all water gives life to what would be green. 😉💚 #movelikewater #stillbelikeamirror #waterlover #thisadorablewildlife #myyogiclife #bluemind #bolsachicawetlands #reachingwithoutseeking

Melancholy and Merwin this morning. Shadow Hand Duporte the roofer that calm voice those sure hands gentling weathered tiles into new generations or half of him rising through a roof like some sea spirit from a wave to turn shaped slates into fish scales that would swim in the rain Duporte who seemed to smooth arguments by listening and whom they sent for when a bone was broken or when they had a pig to kill because of the way he did it only yesterday after all these years I learned that he had suddenly gone blind while still in his sixties and died soon after that while I was away and I never knew and it seemed as though it had just happened and it had not been long since we stood in the road talking about owls nesting in chimneys in the dark in empty houses #thisadorablewildlife #myyogiclife #taprootyogini #melancholymorning #wsmerwin #poetry

Open and repeat after me repeating Rumi. "This world offers no beauty like the Beauty inside. O my heart! Unpack your luggage here." #myopenheart #myyogicliferolls #thisadorablewildlife #reachingwithoutseeking #love #openheart

Let me tell you true, I like the tops of rocks and tips of trees. I worship mountain ranges and long stretches of beaches and wide open spaces and deep forests. I get glee gliding on and in water in lake, stream, sea or pond. I favor flora and fauna of every size and description even the ones who have leaves of 3 and are best to let be. So, it will be no surprise I ❤️ the U.S. National Park Service system (thanks, Teddy Roosevelt) and today have coordinated a group to see the new MacGillvray 3D IMAX that pays homage to the NPS at the California Science Center. The film is called National Park Adventure! Btw, photo taken on trail at Joshua Tree National Park, on #optoutside Friday, November 2015. #myyogicliferolls #naturelover #naturewalker #joshuatreenationalpark #nationalparks #nationalparksadventure3d #nationalparkservice #greatoutdoors

Kindness came to me by surprise the other day from the person who upgraded the size of my coffee just because...#randomactsofkindness #kindness #kindacts #myyogiclife

My Honey Homes, my Snow Man, my Indiana Jones and Sherlock Holmes, I had lost you and your feel for awhile, a short while. But you came back to me and I did not see that more clearly as in the tracks left most distinctly by each of a full variety of species before me in the New Year’s snow. In those tracks I saw that I am on track, hot on the common good right trail. Catch you, catch me as a good catch can.

[tap-root-yogini]

Star light, Star bright! Are you the Honey Homes I felt last night?

You! Yes, you, my unknown man of my kind and opposite. Hair, curls tousled graying? Or, sheared to a shiny bare? Yes, you! You seemed so far away to me on those dark days before The Soltice. I felt your presence and the thought of you no where near me. You could have been a thousand light years away under the Sun of another universe. But somehow right when the days started to take a little longer to draw to a close, I started to feel you again. Your unearthly presence appeared to me like a star shining in the distance to light and point the way to the wise ones on a Christmas day.

Memorandum of Understanding

As we slowly make our entrance towards each other, do know that I do know we will have conflict. I may not know you yet, your specific personality, but your human-ness and my human-ness makes it seemly and likely that it would be so. We humans have conflict and disagreement, my beloved Honey Homes. Our lives don't exist in the one dimensional world of waifs saved by princes and forever free of woe. We've both been around long enough to well understand this truth, my dearest Man for All Seasons. But, our Love, the specific, realistic, refined power of Love that we are growing toward and are cultivating for each other, now even before we've met, will offer us the wisdom and insightful guidance that will see us through the inevitable and eventual crossfire of conflict that comes with living the rest of our lives together.
