My Mantra:

Don't Hesitate

by Mary Oliver

If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy,

don’t hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty

of lives and whole towns destroyed or about

to be. We are not wise, and not very often

kind. And much can never be redeemed.

Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this

is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something

happens better than all the riches

or power in the world. It could be anything,

but very likely you notice it in the instant

when love begins. Anyway, that’s often the

case. Anyway, whatever it is, don’t be afraid

of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

My San Kalpa: I want students to remember and experience all of the parts of themselves--which could range from present physical and emotional parts; to "younger" inner childhood parts; to the parts that bravely open and turn towards what may be coming next. I want them to feel safe in experiencing this full range of being human!
