“Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.”
Dear Friends,
We offer these words in trying times when we are being called to stay present to the challenges within our personal and greater world. “As within, so without” is a teaching found in many of the world’s spiritual traditions — and one known well to practitioners of yoga. It’s also found within the texts that elucidate its path and process. One is but a reflection of the other.
We urge you, just as we our urging ourselves, to attend to your well-being in these times. It’s the only way any of us stand a chance of being the best version of ourselves in these intensely hard and frightening times.
