Once a week or so I spend time walking the Hoyt Arboretum. As you can see. It’s a lovely place to feel the breeze on my cheeks, notice the beautiful colors and shapes of nature and to relish moving along the trails. The other day I came upon a beautiful bench on a trail.
The brass plaque on it noted that the gentleman it was dedicated to was born in 1898 and died in 1989. “Savor Life!” was inscribed on the plaque.
It’s obvious to me that our practices of mindful movement, yoga and meditation, however we embody them, are modes of helping us savor life and savor those near us. Rather than devour and push for more ‘life’ we are invited to savor the gift of life as it is offer our way. I am so thankful for those who have been my teachers, especially my most powerful teachers, my students over these decades, who support my ability to savor life. My hope is that they too are encouraged to savor life as they learn to practice here. Kind Regards — Brant
