That is whole, this is whole. From the whole, wholeness arises. Taking away the whole from the whole, the whole remains. ~Shavasya Upanishad (Yajur Veda)

Each time I roam,
to where ever that might be...
I inevitably return hOme.

I WISH I could bust into a Full Wheel with such openness!! I can only imagine how awesome it feels! Especially given the state that I am in currently, having just spent the last 8 weeks dilligently (and arguably, compulsively) working on creating this new website!
This Blog post officially welcomes you to version 4 (yes, version FOUR!) of TheBestCompanyEver.com !!
May Love, Compassion and Grace prevail!
And giving credit where credit is due -- this photo isn't mine. I found it on Lucas Rockwood's website; www.yogabodynaturals.com and the photo is aptly entitled: "Clear Vision". Love it!

In order to be truly free, you must desire to know the truth more than you want to feel good.
... if the desire to feel good is stronger than the yearning to see, know, and experience reality honestly, then this desire will always be distorting the perception of what is real while corrupting one’s deepest integrity.

If the only prayer you ever say in your whole life is, thank you,
that would suffice.

All techniques, when not turned into doctrine, become mindfulness practices--
They give the mind a specific place to focus so that we can drop into levels of absorption that interrupt distraction and habit.
~ Michael Stone, The Inner Tradition of Yoga
Mindfulness is our ability to be aware of what is going on both inside us and around us.
It is the continuous awareness of our bodies, emotions and thoughts.
Through mindfulness, we avoid harming ourselves, and others.
~Tich Nhat Hanh
