Guest guest Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Namaste Jan you might enjoy this excerpt from Terry Tempest Williams book. . ..Finding Beauty in a Broken World. peace sparrow prairie dog sadhana [0] <http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_OMsfKGe8f48/SVVMRfoWpjI/AAAAAAAAAD0/ti4MzcjW4\ i0/s1600-h/prairiedog.jpg> Prairie Dog Sun Salutation " I watched prairie dogs every day, rise before the sun, stand with their paws pressed together facing the rising sun in total stillness for up to 30 minutes, " says Williams. " And then I watched them at the end of the day take that same gesture 30 minutes before the sun goes down they would press their palms together in perfect stillness. I don't mean to anthropomorphize, but when you look at a creature that has survived over the millennium begin and end each day in that kind of stance, it causes one to think about one's own life and speed and rapidity in which we live.
