“But the answer to the child in the backseat, when they ask “Are we there yet?” is always: We’ll never be there. It can only be now, right here. We are here.” — thank you, this was beautiful 🤍

Jessica,

Your writing and photos both such a gift . Thanks for sharing with me. They are a reminder to continue to be grateful, over and over again. It can't help but push the occasional dark reflections, to the side. I love you, Mom

Beautiful. What is the meaning of 108 for the sun salutations?

108 is a number that’s considered sacred and lucky and auspicious in Hinduism and Buddhism so is also part of yoga practices. I led a community practice of doing 108 sun salutations, or physical prostrations done through a flow of poses, every spring and fall equinox for many years ☺️
