A TRADITION OF SMILES
We talk about the significance of turning 12…
The maturing awareness of fundamental balance, of symmetry as a foundation for moving forwards, for wholistic transformation, for evolution.
I want to talk more about 12 cranial nerves. 12 ribs. 12 as “highly composite”. A sublime number”. 12 as the number of completion, lunation, rotation.
12 years is how long my former master requested I apprentice to him. 12 years is the traditional yogic mandate for service to one’s guru to ensure the embodiment, the cellular assimilation of radical intake.
I humbly acknowledge the potency of this natural law in my own maturation, as it relates to cells and astro cycles.
Now 12 years a mother and not one thing desecrates our tradition. A tradition of smiles exploded out of love for God, love for truth, love for the grace that has brought us into each others life to experience oneness that death can only render stable.
