Hot Summer in the City

IMG_0736, originally uploaded by seannyK.

I can't even begin to describe the feelings of excitement summer in Vancouver contains. There is absolutely no shortage of things to do and most of them don't cost a penny. The ocean, river, lakes, mountains, beaches, festivals, markets provide some top notch culture and nature. The combination of this makes me always question people who immigrate or choose to live in Vancouver instead of any other city in Canada.. but i am going to stop asking because i now see why. I feel it, i see it, i live it, i love it.

Why I'm ignoring your Facebook request

Why I'm ignoring your Facebook request
It has gotten out of control. I have deleted over 300 people in the last few months which took forever of my time. Not because i don't like you, but because i don't really know you or talk to you anymore. I rather have a real friend then a serial facebook adder.

Savasana

Why do we roll to the right side at the end of Savasana?

* Rolling to the right side of the body is rolling away from the heart (less pressure and weight on the rested and open heart).
* Pausing on the right side allows the students natural blood pressure to reach it’s potential homeostasis.
* Resting on the right side allows the energy to be redirected in the present moment as needed and circulated appropriately.

The eventual eclipsed full moon rising over East Vancouver

The eventual eclipsed full moon rising over East Vancouver, originally uploaded by veggy.

After 4 hours of slow bike riding through the city, i crossed the Cambie Bridge. To my glorious surprise the moon was rising right over my apartment in this photo. Every person i came upon on the bridge i yelled at them "look at the moon!".

I found out later it there was an actual lunar eclipse that night which will be followed by a solar eclipse on July 11th. Moons pull the tides, and probably could explain some of the rised tensions and just odd things that have happened over the last little while.

I always wanted to do Critical Mass, and now i do. I also ride my bike everywhere. I challenge you to do the same. In the summer it really isn't a challenge.. it's awesome.
