With Devotion

A certain young lady I know, a showbiz type, was asked by an interviewer, "What does your tattoo mean?"

"The one on my stomach?" The question referenced a line of Indic calligraphy surrounded by tiny blossoms which runs sinuously across the woman's lower abdomen and around to her back.

"It's Sanskrit, from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali -- number 114, actually.

"It says 'In order for your practice to be grounded in earth, it must be done continuously, over a long period of time, with devotion.' So, those three elements -- I used to have a hard time practicing, so I decided to put something like a post-it note on my body to remind myself."

And that's my inspiration for today, from one who inspires quite frequently.
