IT IS MAY, and the March/April showers in the northern
hemisphere of the Earth have provoked “May flowers,” (as they should) but in
April in this unprecedented year, and, surely, in May, for any laggards.
Overflowing post-winter verdant landscape: Flowers—the reproductive structures of
many plants—fragrance, the outspreading softness and lushness of leaves, and
color

In yoga, an enduring sensuousness: The knees shift to the
right, and the tautness of the left hip comes into awareness. It is “sensual,” in the sense of being perceived by and affecting
the senses.
Poses, asanas, with
hips open or hips raised, and the twisting of the body press awareness into the
body rather than into thought/ideation can “bring us to our senses” in any
season.
Across the long run, it is not so much the “sexuality” of
the body as much as the attentiveness to the “sensuality” of the body. Listening to “thinking” has much more
to do with eroticism and sexuality than listening to the body itself. Listening to the body opens a sensuous
landscape that expands with returns to practice.
