WELCOME AND THANKS FOR VISITING MY PAGE
Gregory Ormson’s O-Rings – this is a place for work shaped by breath, motion, land, and listening. My life moves through many forms: writer, drummer and musician, motorcycle rider, teacher, yogi, but the practice between them is singlular and consistent . . . pay attention.
I am keenly interested in the polarities between inclusion and exclusion; and how a human being learns to belong to time, to landscape, to themselves and to the body’s own knowing.
My life and writing travels between northern lakes and desert roads, between discipline and improvisation, between the quiet labor of the page and the hot energy of the open road. Whether I am teaching, turning a sentence, striking a drum or chord, or riding into long weather, I strive to understand life’s coherence in a difficult and demanding time.
Thank you to Asana Journal for publishing my 50th Yoga Inspirational, “Enter the Master, Enter the Child.”
Comment if you’d like. I always appreciate hearing feedback from you.

Dr. Ormson in the desert,
Your article gave me a smile, maybe a sad smile for just a moment, but that is better than my fixed frown after two weeks of Trump. His untreated mental illness, low intellectual functioning and characterological nature is sucking us toward death. I smell the rotting flesh. The winter Ohio wind isn’t strong enough to remove the odors of decaying carcarasses. Tissue still hangs on some of the skeletons. But I absorbed your word smithing about children and yoga and smiled, wishing I was the curious and enthused child whom you wrote about, but I am not a child. I feel fragile, weak and old. My smile is gone and fear takes over.
