Bob Smith, founder of the Hatha Yoga Center in 1977 “has been stroked”, as his teacher Ram Das put it. Now that Bob is in the hospital, we will begin to know the extent of the consequences. It may take a long time for him to “get back”, like the Beatles’ song and the name of Bob’s last viewed documentary.
My role as codirector of HYC since 1999 is to see to it that he has a place to “get back” to. As Bob’s wife, it means carrying his legacy forward, whatever may come. My yoga practice and our community sustains and supports me so I can persevere.
What sustains and supports you? How can you best use your time while you are waiting? to Happiness continues to use common sense, which directs me back to Yoga.

Ki,
Not the news I like to start my day with. I am always connected to you two from afar and am on watch for Bob. Please deliver my love to him (and you) and know that I am praying for his recovery.
Much love,
Joanie
