And a river runs through it
Michelle opened up a new yoga studio in MidCity on Canal Street. Actually, Libby will be the main person there but tonight was the grand opening and I went along with 100 other yoga followers. What an incredible space – it is in an old post office with a huge WPA mural across one entire side – the mural is about the making of sound and spans prehistoric and all races – it’s quite an amazing display.
The theme tonight was of the power of water – the politics of water – and the vibration that comes from living submerged, alongside, and so fully inundated by water like we are here in New Orleans. It’s what makes our musical instruments find a tongue of their own, it’s what makes us move so fluidly through our lives, and it is a powerful healing force.
Check out the new MidCity Swan River – it’s really a great place filled with a lot of great people. Of course, I did have a moment having read the article about John Friend in the NYT Magazine a few Sundays ago that everyone was a bit over the top on the touchy feely feel good vibe – but you know what – why not? Hell touchy feely is much better than sour and curmudgeon any old day.
