The Hero& The Victim- Stories in our bodies - Red Things on Tuesday
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. The hero in our bodiesI need to remind myself to be the hero of my yoga practice sometimes. I need to remind myself not to let myself off the hook and play the victim. I had Achilles tendon surgery a few years back. It affects my balance poses. The pose on one foot is very different from that on the other. It would be really easy for me to write it off. I catch myself making excuses, telling myself it's ok to give up. It's never going to be like it was, so why even try? That's my victim: poor me and my foot. I can't do it. And I have a great excuse. But that's not me, that's not you. That's not us. We do it anyway, we try harder. we root into the ball of our foot, and keep working. We train our bodies to become heroes. Our bodies are going to tell the stories of our tiny acts of heroism. That's all. It's quiet here at casa de tam, today. I'll leave you with a couple of quiet songs, and scene from "Sandman" which features a moment between two Eternals.

Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Your Inner Child Loves The Hobbit. The 5-year-old and I read The Hobbit over the summer, and it has given us lots to think about. It's also led to one of my proudest parenting moments. We were making sandwiches for a hike, and he was spreading peanut butter onto some bread. It was a bit lumpy and patchy, and he pointed it out, saying, "It's fine." I countered, "No, dude, spread it all the way to the edges. You got this." He questioned,...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Have you met time travellers? "If time travel is a real thing, where are all the time travellers?" I've met time travelers. They're at Grateful Dead shows. (present tense!) Grateful Dead shows are timeless. Time travellers gravitate towards timeless places, I believe. Television and movies would have you believe that they flock to singular historical events, but that's only part of it. It certainly makes for better TV to have a bunch of...
Welcome to this Week's Edition of Red Things on Tuesday. Pumpkin Spice Lemon Tek Ginger, Cinnamon, Clove, Nutmeg, Lemon, Mushrooms. It's autumn. Why not? There are plenty of people in the world who use peanut butter and jelly as their ceremonial offering. I've seen pictures of the little saints decorating slices of cheese pizza. To each their own. Spices aren't high on the list of sacrileges, I think. We're spice people. We love the touch of a cinnamon stick. The pop of a cardamom pod. The...
