The Gift That Keeps On Giving
By: Jim Shorr
Wilsonville, Oregon
My December holiday gift came in the form of three new members of our exurban Joy with Movement group here in Wilsonville. One couple had moved from Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, and noticed our community bulletin board flyer featuring a photo of the Cosmic Consciousness pose and Around The Platter Variation. They were yoga students, felt the flow early in their T’ai Chi Chih movements, and stay after class to ask questions and refine the movements. The third new member, a college math teacher, singled out “the taffies” and Working the Pulley as “the way to synchronize my left brain mind with my right brain spirituality.” It’s no coincidence she is a Libra.
Life is abundant, if we allow it to be. In this season of gratitude to Justin and my Portland area co-teachers appreciation is at the top of the list. In gratitude.
