The First Step

The only real way to get this thing going is to just do it.  I’ve been plagued by that “where do I begin” curse and thus I’ve done a whole lot of nothing.  My biggest concern has been putting up something for people to grab on to.  As a writer in general, I’ve been keeping journals religiously for the past eleven years.  So my recent studies of yoga and travels with practice that to summer solstice in New Mexico and many other little journeys along the way, have given me lots to write about in terms of experience.  Yoga has become the best thing in my life over the past three or so years that I’ve been practicing with discipline and here’s why:  Yoga gives you the physical experience of your soul in the present—here in the body.  Yoga and meditation allow you to have a real-time experience of who you really are.  I could go on for days about this and probably will.  Here’s what you should know about this very first and somewhat auspicious post at The New Guru Union Blog:  I will be transcribing old journal entries and in some cases just transforming them into essays.  In other cases I will simply discuss things.  If necessary I’ll mark some of them as journal entries and give the date.  This is a work in progress and I’ve stalled thus far because of that chicken and egg curse.  So here it is, the first step in an infinite journey.  Warts and all.  Thank you very much.
