So a really great thing happened and I want to share it because it wouldn't have happened without this Karma Yoga group. Last Sunday when I checked my e-mail I found a message from a woman named Nancy who lives near Chicago. She had seen our blog (thank you Ann) and asked if she could still donate to the family we collected donations for at the October Kirtan. She said she had some family here on Bainbridge and had done yoga with Jen whom she considers one of her most influential teachers (of course!).
Then I saw Jen's October newsletter about spider webs and making connections - my favorite part was this: "What I'm learning from my spider friends and the web in the corner windows and what I learn on my yoga mat everyday is simple and sweet and true. Create magical strands of glistening connection in whatever corners you go in, be resilient and steadfast, sit for awhile in calm intention, then let go and move on." The e-mail from Nancy felt like proof of just those kinds of "glistening connection."
But the story goes on - today I received an e-mail from Nancy asking me to put a note in the card for Martha and Steve on her behalf. She met Martha at BYH years ago and then got to know her a bit better at the yoga retreat in Mexico last year. Then I got my mail - and there was a check from Nancy for $100.
