September 4-6 we filled this room with practice and prayers over hours and hours of time spent with Yoga on the Inside | Poses for Healing . On Sunday night we sealed the room, Eddie & Kristin caught the last flight off island and I did not return to the space until Tuesday, the morning after Hurricane Lowell swept through and devistated our island. I’ll never forget the feeling walking through Hanalei taking in the wreckage and new landscape of town, still stunned by the experience of the storm overnight. By the time I walked up the stairs and turned the key to the front door I had braced myself for more impact, but what I was met with was the most overwhelming quiet relief I have ever experienced. While there was destruction all around and our external reality had shifted completely, the inside had been held and perhaps even fortified - it was palpable.
The frame of this space has now stood through two hurricanes, an extreme flood, landslides, a pandemic and tens of thousands of hours of practice. While there is still so much uncertainty and we once again find ourselves in the unknown, what I know for sure is that the practice will continue.
Trust, Relax, Redouble your efforts. And keep going.
