Beverly is great! I have her book and it’s excellent – I can’t recommend it enough. It’s clearly written with great photos and above all, she has a deep understanding of the practice. Yoga comes from within, and […]

In answer to your question: no – no one ever reads this blog. I enjoy it, however, so keep writing.

I am currently enjoying being nobody, going nowhere. It’s very peaceful. I would encourage anyone to explore what the phrase “being nobody, going nowhere” means (it’s not a neccesarily a Lebowski-esque meaning, […]

Brooks wrote a new blog post: Be here now 7 months, 2 weeks ago
I’ve been meeting some interesting people lately. Some like-minded souls, or like-souled minds. As I finish the day up, in bed afloat on my boat, listening to some Stephen Stills, my dog asleep nearby, I am grateful for all I have and all that I have jettisoned from my life. ”Go light”. I’m grateful for being [...]

“Simplify, simplify” – Henry David Thoreau FOR THE CHILDREN The rising hills, the slopes, of statistics lie before us. the steep climb of everything, going up, up, as we all go down.

As a fellow writer who recently gave up their on-land house to liveaboard, congratulations for making the move, even if it is temporary. You both know the challenges well, so nothing will come as a surprise.
Good luck, and enjoy Langley, I just left there myself after a week enjoying that beautiful little town.

Boating Advice: 1 year, 1 month agoI’m looking to get a spring tune-up on my Atomic 4. I’ve heard good and bad about Pat’s Marine. Any feedback on this place would be helpful. Also, other suggestions for Atomic 4 repair are welcomed. Thank you in advance.

I’ve worked with Pat’s for years on my previous boat, which had a Pathfinder diesel. Great guy and a very good mechanic.

Brooks wrote a new blog post: “I am an obsessive re-writer, doing one draft and then another and another, usually five. In a way, I have nothing to say, but a great deal to add.” – Gore Vidal 1 year, 2 months ago
Keeping a blog running takes time and drive, and if one is not even mildly prolific, the blog dies. The Internet is littered with dead blogs, strewn about on servers around the globe. There are just as many, if not more, active blogs documenting peoples inane, pointless ramblings on matters minor and irrelevant – chronicling the evanescent, [...]

I have no idea what the problem was, but the boat appears to be a Bayliner Buccaneer – not a good boat. Another reason to never get aboard one of those!
