A Bird Cannot Fly Without Two Wings/James

[Guest guest]

Namaste' James:

You are welcome, James.

And thank you for letting me know you rewrote your book.

Just yesterday, I had printed it out so I could read it.

Not to worry, I had converted it to WP, which reduced it to 50+ pages.

True confession...I had not yet read it!!!

It is one of those things, you know.

I would open up the file and then close it and forget it when I turned off my computer.

So I printed it out so I could have it handy.

I was hoping maybe you would let us take an excerpt from it for one of the next HSS mags.

To do that, I felt I should read it first, and then talk to you about it:-).

Then I checked my email and saw your note.

So, it is sitting there still unread.

After all, you rewrote it. Now, to check out your website for the new version's excerpts...

any thoughts for what would work in the next mag?

Love,

Joyce

PS. I did scan the PDF version...that is a very nice photo of you at the end...

Hope you kept it in the rewritten version. Ladies, his photo is worth buying his book!!!

Oh, and he has photos of some Fabio type doing yoga asanas in the book itself and on his website...

Now don't rush there and trip over yourselves on the way...

Relationship is the Substance of Life? That is not very nondual is it?

Namaste' Joyce, Thank you for this. I have rewritten the

book I spoke with you about and now call it 'The Way of Water'. This

is my comment of the spirit-nature of things, and it is inspired by

my translation of the Yin-Yang Symbol (the two wings) and on my Yoga

practice. You can see the cover design and some excerpts here:

Yin-Yang symbol: Relationship is the Substance of Life.Love and
