Carl's Yoga Instructor Says the Wizard of Oz is about the Heart Space

Carl is really trying to comprehend "Heart Space" but he keeps thinking about it too hard.

Anusara Yoga and the Wizard of Oz helped. Sara (his yoga instructor) explained (this yoga is like therapy too) how there's the tin man who really does have a heart and the scarecrow who uses his brain in service to the heart (i might be missing the details, it's hard to understand Carl's translations sometimes) and then the lion who has courage - and courage isn't not being afraid, its being able to stay present even when you are afraid. Huh, that's cool Carl.

And then there is this crazy adventure and all these trials and no one gets it until they meet the wizard, realize he is a fraud and the good witch tells them that home is where the heart is (yea yea, heard it before). But when Carl heard it this time he was all like, "OHHHH, Home is where the HEART is. The HEART SPACE." I think he is starting to understand.

Big Open Hearts. Yeah Yoga.

Speaking of Heart Spaces - Here is June Bugs' Art Space:
