MONKEY!

Everyone, this is my cat, Monkey. I lost her in a custody battle in a break-up with an ex, but we're on good terms so I'll be seeing her in June (along with Wayne Coyne hopefully!). Gaahhhhh... look at that FACE! Just pure love! OK, that's all. I woke up with this picture in my inbox and I had to share :)

I too am not a bit tamed, I too am untranslatable, I sound my barbaric YAWP over the roofs of the world.

YAAAAAAAWP!

Walt Whitman is a genius. I love those moments when you feel energy boiling, simmering, marinating, welling deep inside you and the only thing to do to release it--to do it justice--is YAAAAAAAAAAAWP.  It's like lion's breath in yoga... this deep heavy release from the pit of your gut. We spend so much time whispering our lives with our voices low & our bodies confined. Just let it allll out. Wiggle and dance and shine out that energy! :D
