Today’s post is a reflection on the life of Ruth Ius, a wonderful woman I knew growing up. It came about as I pondered upon Chapter #6 Joy, from the book The Wisdom of No Escape, by Pema Chödrön, this month’s Namaste Book Club book selection. You can find the complete article on YogaBear.
These reminiscences came about thanks to the Navajo teaching that each day when the sun comes up, it is a new sun. “As soon as the children are old enough to understand, the adults take them out at dawn and they say, “The sun has only one day. You must live this day in a good way, so that the sun won’t have wasted precious time.”
I encourage you to live today as if it were “precious time,” to find the joy in the moment and to share that joy with those around you. Live well, live today.

being able to utalize the energy that you have is a great way to start the day. being true to yourself and aware of your own limitations. not wasting what the sun has given you – it’s a great reminder to live life.
