Sometimes, it feels like people just want to be pissed. If thats you, take a hard look at that and then.....let it go. For real. Life is short. What do I know of life is short? (Dont get me started.) My dad dying at age 38 is number one. I have more, but Ive written so much about all of it. All Im saying is that life is short and walking around looking to be angry and pissed and offended is, well, a pathetic way to live. Pathetic. (Who wants to be pathetic? Not me!) I stand by that statement. It IS a pathetic way to live to walk around looking for things to be offended by. Look for the beauty instead. Cuz its there. Otherwise, why, in wines good name, would I create a project and a book called Beauty Hunting? Im as guilty as the rest. I get my panties all in a knot at times. My knickers in a twist. My mind in a nasty, stinky funk. But life is short and I ask why? Tonight I saw that someone thought my retreat would have more yoga (even though I am VERY VERY clear, as clear as can be with something that has no way to describe it, that it is NOT about the asana) and this someone went online and slandered me. I get that there will be bad reviews. I really really do. Otherwise I wouldnt be okay with writing a book and sending it out into the world. I am not naive, although I am (or try to be) kind. I try not to be an asshole- thats my golden rule. Anyway, it made me sad because I thought: life is short. Life is short and here we are looking to be all pissed and right and having the last word. It made me sad for 4 seconds and then I lit a fire under my ass to become the fiercest beauty hunter this world ever did see. I dont expect to like everything. I dont expect you will either. But my God, dont look to be pissed. Dont let that pissed-offness over something that isnt worth it sit with you so long that it makes you miss the beauty. Truth? There isnt that much asana at my retreats but there definitely is some. And what happens there and at my workshops is more yoga than I could ever describe to you. Yoga means union. That is what I do. I wish for us all to see more union in this world and more beauty. Good night. I love you. May we always see the beauty. Even when it seems there isnt much. (There usually is.) xo jen pastiloff beautyhunting.
