Under the surface… worthless without purpose? Or dancing donkeys?

January 29, 2023 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

"The Fool" by Catrin Welz-Stein - is she a fool? Or just seeing something amazing without comprehending it?

Down below you are seemingly endless depths. First, your own body, below the first inch of which is too appalling to consider visually. Then dirt, filled with insects, mud, grime, and a fiery core. Below that? An inhospitable vacuum. That’s above you, too. There are depths that aren’t physical, as well. The astounding degree to…

Freeing a hell of a bird

January 22, 2023 by Fandom Yoga 1 Comment

A soul could be a bird. In “The Girl who Fell Beneath the Sea” by Axie Oh, the main character’s soul is a magpie, and I feel like mine could be some avian variety as well. I can feel it now, in fact. Fluttering madly in my chest, the ribs like cage bars. Such is…

“I am Moana!” : Naming yourself so others can’t

June 22, 2021 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

I’ve written before about identity – and in particular, the forces (or “modules”) in our mind and how we can organize them. I’ve also written about making sure no one else hijacks your mental A/I – our interface between those forces and the world. But what if someone can hijack your modules? Not an ad…

Who will we be after going “into the woods” in COVID quarantine?

December 6, 2020 by Fandom Yoga 3 Comments

We’re in a bit of an in-between time. There are good words for where we are: penumbra, for instance, is the area between total light and total shadow. Or we could try alluvian, a more geographic term describing the wettish area between land and sea. In musical theater terms, we have gone “into the woods.”…

Props to Red Maples in February

February 16, 2020 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

I’d just like to say thanks to the red maples out there. And the silver maples, too, for that matter. And the snowdrops and the odd bold forsythias. In the beginning of February things have been gray and brown for a long time. So long you almost can’t quite picture things being any other way….

How to Cope, by 2019’s Fandoms

November 2, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

It’s a heck of a time. Our institutions have largely failed us and we all are quivering like the dog in the meme in the burning house. “This is fine,” we also say, although our twitchy eyes say otherwise. Fortunately, we have also had some fabulous popular art to help us through. Here are some…

The Top Plants of Fandom

August 19, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Plants are such a happy little weird phenomenon – especially plants in pots. They are like little green alien visitors that we hardly understand from another, better, more beautiful world – except that it’s our own world too. (Except for Audrey II, which is super cool but but is none of those things except alien….

Exorcising Your Modern-day Demons

February 19, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

What demons are haunting YOU? You certainly have some. They may not look like the red devil below, but then again, the red devil below wasn’t actually a devil, it was Captain Picard messing with holographic projectors to prove an important legal point, as you do: A demon, broadly interpreted, can be any force in…

You, twisted: Getting to Know your Nemesis

February 3, 2019 by Fandom Yoga Leave a Comment

Who’s your perfect nemesis? Or conversely, whose perfect nemesis are you? It’s a question we might do well to ponder on both personal and an artistic levels – to understand ourselves as well as to understand what makes for great, relatable narrative. Our perfect nemeses aren’t necessarily the Big Bads in our lives – the…

8 Quotes That Show Rent is Yoga’s Favorite Musical

January 25, 2019 by Fandom Yoga 1 Comment

8. “To Yoga, To Yogurt!” I mean, obviously. Ah, to be in a time when yoga was considered counter-culture! Also yogurt and huevos rancheros?? If those are bad I never need to be good. 7. “My body’s talking to me. It says, ‘Time for danger.’” Anyone who has tried Wheel Pose or Crow Pose waaaaaay…
