		<description><![CDATA[Lost in translation- the 5 Elements, or is it the 5 Transformations?

As the fullness of high summer, the Fire Element, gives way to Earth, the fields are turning gold, the farmers&#8217; markets are over flowing with produce, gardeners give away zucchinis and tomatoes.

You will be taking about 20,000 breaths today. Notice what happens if you feel the air coming into and out of your lungs for just 10 breaths in a row.  Go ahead- try.

Between holding a hand and chaining a soul.
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts

They were flexible and mellow, sitting cross-legged on the floor, eyes closed, “following their breath” [...]]]></description>
