D&D!! we have started to play (well we started our characters we have not started the
role playing yet).
My character is a human ranger named Regdar Axelheart. I surely fit the ranger category because I have crazy abilities such as navigator and blind fighting.
Mom's character is named Fig Fallenstar, shes a human theif.(she has 18 dexterity. dang its gonna be hard to hit her.)
Mac's is Ave Hornblade. She is a human fighter with 18 strength (holy cow)
Pop's Dungeon Master.








A little story, by Emmett.
"ah what a refreshing island i am going to stab it to inflict damage just for
the heck of it" said the idiotic dude (stab) "rowwr" said the island "oh my gosh i just stabbed a zaratan." (swallow) moral: make sure the island your standing on is not a zaratan

Cami,
I wish you were here to take this yoga class with me.
Today the teacher told the story about ..."a woman climbing a rope with tigers
down below her and tigers on the cliff above her and a mouse
nibbling on the rope...she looks up, she looks down... then she sees, in a
crevice in the rock next to her, a patch
of wild strawberries.
Without much else to do she eats a perfect wild strawberry and smiles."

Then our teacher says that we should think of the tigers as what we all
face yet fear everyday and the mouse as time ticking away and the strawberries
as the happiness in the now.
Then she tells us to let this guide our practice and let go of our tigers for the NOW.

So...Later, after chatteranga-ing my butt off, sweaty and all vibratey, she says
to get into "happy baby" pose...my mind drifts to all the "tigers" in my life and of course
"the strawberries" too and "the mouse" and she says ....
"surrender, we are going to be here for a while."
(tears, tears)

When yoga is all-encompassing like this, stories, sounds, breathing, work, rest,
thoughts, feelings, pure physicality...
I love yoga.
