Kelly Ann Beavers based solely on the title, my reply is yes. and that narcissism is a key aspect of seeing who you are.

Kelly Ann Beavers now i will read it (after i dry off from having just fallen into a pool of water i was admiring my reflection too intently in.)

Erin Duncan What is it with the NYT’s obsession with yoga?

Kelly Ann Beavers This is a beautiful piece. It made my eyes tear up, some of it.

Kelly Ann Beavers Thank you, Max.

Kelly Ann Beavers It’s really important as well, the questions. About who you are, and what the edge is between a teacher’s instruction and your experience. It’s really important in the world – beyond the classroom. In simple conversations on the street, at bars, at wal mart in the check out line. The question we are all learning to experience more and more deeply in any given moment. What is the edge of me? Where do I end and this other person begins? What in my experience is “of me” and what is “of them” and how, can I most ably and compassionately and bravely reconcile this distance such that we are both centered, connected, on the ground.

Kelly Ann Beavers fave part so far “Yoga’s issue with the ego is not simple. The problem with the ego is that we need it. It’s what holds us in reality. The ego is nothing more in a way than our relationship to other things, to other people. It’s a measuring device. It’s something we need but that we can’t get too dependent on. Like love, like sex, like food, like people.”
