aero and dash

We've done it, re-populated the house with felines, two 4 month old step brothers. We have never taken in two at once, so this is quite an interesting venture. And it has been years since a kitten of any sorts has come to live with us. So after many years of one well adjusted indoor/outdoor cat and no cat box we have two very active little ones climbing up our legs and eating houseplants. We won't talk about the litter box. But we couldn't be happier.

And they seem to be too.

Taos 2015

Here's Alli in Natarajasana in front of the Sacred Mountain. On the plane ride home, Alli and I discovered we had the same birthday. I think we've bonded. This year was my eighth yoga retreat in Taos, they have all been wonderful and they all have been different. My analogy for this trip is based on the last piano we finished at the shop. It was a Steinert A, a wee 5 foot piano. We all loved it, one of our favorite restorations. It was sweet sounding. Not the power of a Steinway B at seven feet, but sometimes you don't need or want that.
The aspens were giving us a show, the cottonwoods not yet peaked.

We visited my favorite Taos photographer Geraint Smith at his gallery in Arroyo Seco.

There is something about the sky in Taos that surrounds you. I feel like I have my arms outstretched as far as I can reach just trying to take it in. And you add the the clear light and the storm clouds and I kept trying to breath in deeply, inhale it into my mind to bring out when I need it.

The food and friendship were wonderful, the time passed too quickly. I am ready to put it on my calendar for next October. Namaste.
