The last one I emitted was so bad (audibly) that I've decided to restrict meat-eating to lunch so that my body has time to digest before practice!DThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13842558079176315193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-61777724424810337052010-11-29T04:49:58.544-08:002010-11-29T04:49:58.544-08:00Dear Nobel

It is entitled BuddhaBlog. She is a friend from San Francisco. I think you might enjoy her posts, mostly about practicing Nichiren's Buddhism.

Wow, my quads are tight. I'm going to pretend that's the only thing preventing me from achieving this pose and just work on quad stretches for the next little while :)Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09483919150641771008noreply@blogger.com
