I have been going through a lot of my stuff today to either take downstairs to the free cycle area in my apt. or to throw away. As I was going through important papers to separate and throw out the old papers that are no use to me anymore, I came across this pamphlet I got from an animal sanctuary, called Out To Pasture Sanctuary, about 10 years ago, that's located in Estacada, Oregon (which, btw they were in the path of the wildfires but managed to evacuate with ALL their 150 animals at their sanctuary farm. Thank God! /\). They are accepting donations at their website.
As you can see above, they talk about the connection of yoga and animal rights. As I looked through it, although brief, they do talk about the real deep meaning of yoga philosophy…I got this 10 years ago, but didn't become a yogi until 2016! Which meant, although I read the pamphlet then, apparently the pearls of wisdom that I see in yoga now just didn't sink in at that time. I'm now thinking—what?! How could I not become a yogi then after reading this? Oh, the inner joy, happiness, and contentment now that could have been back then.
Sigh. Oh well, everything has its own time. )
