MEGHAN – Yoga instructor

Meghan Elizabeth Lewis was introduced to hatha yoga by her father as a child. While she enjoyed practicing various styles, she chose to focus her training in Iyengar because its attention to alignment and breath leads to self-awareness. She received her teaching certificate from The Yoga Loft in San Francisco. Meghan is experienced in teaching both children and adults. She taught kindergarten and first grade for 6 years and is also a qualified English teacher. Her personal approach to yoga is warm and supportive. She loves to share this practice because it has brought her so much happiness in her own life.

ARTHUR – Writer

TAXI DRIVE ON A SUNNY SATURDAY

The reflection of the sun in the glass of
a driver’s side window of a car stopped
for a red light agitates and causes ache
in eyes that try to keep the brilliant
whiteness on the periphery as they
look beyond to admire the archi-
tecture of the buildings that stand like canyon
walls towering above a trickling stream of traffic.
The sunlight shatters every instant
and embeds its shards to depths
that only light-speed momentum can plumb,
into the naked atmosphere, dense here
at gravity’s border, into the rock
and the flesh forced up against it.
The static way the pedestrians walking
sidewalks and waiting to cross streets
seem, seen through the moving taxi’s open
window makes the stillness of construction
dumpsters on a Saturday when the workers all have off
appear so enigmatically somnolent,
dreaming dreams that behave like tiny tingling
leaves in light breeze, dashed green by the powerful sun;
how their inconceivable logic, that of city traffic
stopping, moving, going, driving
at speeds from zero all the way to sixty,
speeding up and slowing down, headed in varied direc-
tions, sluiced by the gridded rationality of the road
astounds one to try comprehending, like the dreams
our lovers have about us behind their fluttering eyelids.

WHAT WOULD YOU THINK IF…?

It could be very interesting to know in how many different ways the same situation can be interpreted all over the world.

A friend of mine found this post on a forum from Munich. I would like to share it with you.

“This is so crazy, but I don’t care. I’m an American living in San Francisco (29yrs old, engineer, slim petite frame). About two weeks ago I was in Las Vegas for a conference and I met a man there from Munich and we spent one evening together before he departed back to Germany and myself to San Francisco the next day. We had a wonderful time together and I’m completely smitten. He’s in his mid forties with big blue eyes, dirty blond hair, and dusky white skin. This is perhaps a common look in Germany, but whatever, he was georgeous to me. I didn’t mind that he was probably a bit overweight for his frame (about 5 foot 10/11). I’m golden tan/very petite from South Pacific decent -attractive people say. To me he was beautifully exotic and I loved his style in clothes and views on life. He owns a company in construction or he’s a builder; I forget -profession doesn’t matter to me. I sent him tea roses (a bunch of 60) a week later to his office in Feldkirchen through Aquarelle. They were successfully delivered but I have not heard from him since. In any case, I don’t know what it’s like to date a German man, let alone one from Munich. I hear that in general, German men are not very flirtatious and that men in Munich tend too be more metrosexual than the rest of Germany. I want to win him over. Any suggestions? I’ve already decided to learn German and I plan to travel to Munich in 1 month. I want to give it my all before I finally lay it to rest. Thanks for the help It’s not like me to make such strong initiatives (i never do); there are many men here in San Francisco…just not the kind of man I met from Munich.”
