"Some Swamis are Fat" is a not-so-serious look at what is sacred.
Ava Greene, a yoga instructor, bares her soul in a quest that's
both light-hearted and agonizing. "Enlightenment," "truth..".what
and where are they? And why always just out of reach? Greene's
late-night rants and quirky sidetracking lead us easily along,
wanting more of her courage and insight. Yet it's when she admits
to getting nowhere that a naked stillness sets in...and her efforts
begin to bear fruit. She experiences how surrender (from our own
designs) is actually the more direct path; where trying too hard
often leads to more of the same. You'll both lose and find yourself
in the fresh, energetic writing. Hinting at a wealth of life
experience, Greene's gutsy traction keeps bringing us back to the
present moment, that elusive experience that matters most. "Some
Swamis are Fat" will put you at ease with your own inner voice. -
excerpt - "Enlightenment is just a tool. What you do with it, how
you use it to make peace, how you serve the universe, that's the
next step. Some people don't have to belabor this stuff. Like
slugging the ball over the fence, their lives are those kind of
homers from the start. Greek fishermen, rice growers in Indonesia,
those who never miss a beat, rise with the sun, and do their day's
work cyclically as nature. They go innocently around the calendar,
decade after decade, marrying, parenting, aging then dying. They
hit the ball out of the ballpark first time at bat. They walk the
bases. They're neither jaded nor part of the problem. Somewhere
they chose or didn't choose not to have too many choices. Others of
us play nine long evolutionary innings, and into overtime. Singles,
doubles, a lot of fouling out."
Crochet twelve blocks each using a different technique as you make
an afghan, pillow, wall hanging and more. This is a perfect way to
learn new stitches or practice your skills. Great for classes, also
