the yoga of wedding planning

The main thing is to be with people that you love, celebrating love.
Everyone keeps reminding me of that.

I'm also thinking that you must gently ride the wave of the day.
Even when there's a hurricane forecast for the outdoor ceremony. (aaah!)

In yoga they say that we often get confused between what is real and what is not. And then we feel pain when we think that we mistakenly take the unreal for the real.

Love is real! Napkin choice is not!

grace

A long time ago a favorite yoga teacher of mine said that "The body likes to be graceful"

I've been thinking lately a lot about what grace means.
I've always thought of grace in a physical sort of way, like a ballet dancer is graceful.
Jeremy says that grace means forgiveness.

I like both but wonder how it all works, how does grace happen?
