“Love enters the heart unawares: takes precedence of all the emotions--or, at least, will be second to none--and even reflection becomes its accomplice. While it lives, it renders blind; and when it has struck its roots deep only itself can shake them. It reminds one of hospitality as practiced among the ancients. The stranger was received upon the threshold of the half-open door, and introduced into the sanctuary reserved for the Penates. Not until every attention had been lavished upon him did the host ask his name; and the question was sometimes deferred till the very moment of departure.” LoveHeartSometimesMomentsAsksNamesEmotionAttentionHalfDoorsReflectionRootsBlindStrangerShakesHostHospitalitySanctuaryReservedThresholdDeparturePrecedenceAccomplices Author:Sophie Swetchine

“When I teach a new group of students, I introduce some yoga philosophy, but I don't overload them with information. Just enough so they understand the real tradition behind this ancient practice and that it's not a stretching class. Guys come in and they're a little nervous. I tell them that when they cross the threshold of the door, they're crossing to a different dimension. They're moving from an externally-oriented reality to an internally-oriented one.” LittlesDifferentRealEnoughPhilosophyRealityMovingGuyBehindsClassTeachPracticeDoorsGroupsInformationStudentsYogaTraditionCrossesAncientNervousDimensionsIntroducingCrossingsStretchingThresholdOverloadDifferent Dimensions Author:James Fox
