A period of education and self- cultivation as sprouts begin to form. "Yang matures and takes on a less impulsive quality - it becomes steady in its discipline." LM Qi is best at 10 am, several short practices of movement per day. Be part of something bigger than yourself and retire each day shortly after dark.

Hello Friends,

The last three days I find myself helping to hand feed two baby goats, both girls. So innocent, feisty, and hungry. My heart is stolen and certainly softened by these soft critters as they wobble and jump with their little legs searching for a teat and waggling their tails. May the Wood Goat year continue to open us all to the wonders of every new day, together.
