Don’t Like Crazy? Find a New Planet.by Hilary Lindsay on Jan 17, 2013 In fact I could wear my gun to a bar, get drunk and stagger down the street as long as I didn’t get in my car and drive.

My Reaction to Death at Diamond Mountain.by Hilary Lindsay on Jun 8, 2012 It seems there may have been some tweaking of the chassis of reality within this recent group at Diamond Mountain and I don’t find it surprising. They were free. They made a choice. 532 views |

 Blind Faith & Anusara: Ain’t Nuthin Wrong with Yoga—It’s User Error.by Hilary Lindsay on Apr 20, 2012 But what you built doesn’t change Yoga. She’s hiding behind the door giggling at this latest fiasco. She has a carving of three monkeys on her desk depicting ‘hear no evil see no evil do no evil’ that was a gift from her cousin Buddha but she knows that’s not the way. She’s sitting up there on your dashboard next to plastic Jesus reading church signs, looking at yoga studios. 558 views |
The Wind Will Blow.by Hilary Lindsay on Mar 20, 2012 Wishes, words fly unheeded, unguarded, unintended, to create what might be the right thing if it just didn’t come at the wrong time or in the wrong place. Perhaps I should spend more time untangling my own vines. 261 views |

They do not exist. 501 views |
Put That Down! We Can’t Afford It.by Hilary Lindsay on Feb 3, 2012 I have been complicit by ignorance. Things often have a cost we didn’t suspect. We cannot be aware of everything. This is the cost of living. To be aware of every transgression and to make it a business to fight every transgression is a full time and sorrowful job. 196 views |

 Tread Lightly, Teachers: Put Down Your Big Stick.by Hilary Lindsay on Oct 14, 2011 I was raised as a response to Hitler; or Pharaoh, maybe.

Crashing the Funeral Lineby Hilary Lindsay on Apr 10, 2011 I pay no mind to the strangers that pass me in cars every day, all day but the gravitas of one passing once gone, stops me in my tracks.
