Deep Thoughts by Sayde Lorelei What is soundness? soundness n 1: a state or condition free from damage or decay [ant: unsoundness] 2: the quality of being prudent and sensible [syn: wisdom, wiseness] 3: the firmness and tone of healthy tissue; "her muscle firmness" [syn: firmness] Source: WordNet ® 2.0, © 2003 Princeton University Recreate "soundness" in your life by giving yourself, your loved ones, all who you come in contact with, the gift of yoga. Practice with us soon. The benefits will resonate for all to see, and the goodness will come back at you. Meditation of the Week If, indeed, “all men [including those yet to live] are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness,” then "no generation has license to diminish the unalienable rights of subsequent generations by changing the biogeochemical systems of Earth of impairing the stability, integrity, and beauty of biotic systems, the consequences of which are a form of intergenerational tyranny." The Last Refuge: Patriotism, Politics, and the Environment in and Age of Terror p. 124 David W.

Support Local Taste of India 1195 Boyson Rd.Hiawatha, IA 52233(319) 431-5869Just off of I-380, west of the Boyson Road exit in In-Tent-CityHours: Open Daily 11:30am-2pm, 5pm-9:30pm Ambiance: Elegant, family-style dining, with water sculpture, beautiful tapestries, large booths available by reservation, and large area in the center of the building (bank) for squirrely kids to run around at night and on weekends while you peacefully finish your meal. Email: tasteofindiacr@gmail.com This is absolutely Cristian's and my favorite restaurant in town. There is a buffet available at every lunch which is 75% vegetarian, with two or more meat dishes and dessert served, as well. You can, also, order off of the menu, day or evening. Strict vegetarians be happy! Neither the pans nor ovens cross meat with non-meat. Meat-lovers, the chicken is cooked to the point of buttery deliciousness, and lamb and shrimp are now being offered (ask your server the fresh meat of the day, if you do not see it on the menu). And it is so affordable, fresh, and lovingly prepared. Christen's favorite part of the meal is the bottomless chai tea. Cristian's favorite meal at the Taste of India "is the buffet." When pressured, he declares that his mouth waters for the Chicken Tikka Masala, but he always eats more vegetable dishes than meat. Sayde has yet to find anything she doesn't like, but she always enjoys seconds on "Aloo Gobi," a mixed vegetable dish with califlower, potatoes, fresh ginger and belly-warming spices. You HAVE to try this restaurant. Join us on occasional Sundays when we venture out for lunch after a morning of yoga at the Soundness with Sayde Home Studio. |
