The mind says ‘mistake. regret. punishment.’ The heart speaks ‘long. ache. grieve’ The body pulses ‘want. want. want’ Yoga answers ‘you are nothing but your breath. exhale’ The legs scream ‘go. run. escape’ The ceiling fan whispers ‘you are still here’ The critic declares ‘not enough. do more’ The practice replies ‘exactly right. infinitely curious. eternally gentle’ The hips protest ‘no. I can’t’ Yoga says ‘release the stories. they do not serve’ The hands grasp ‘hold tight. don’t let go’ The pose demands ‘loosen. relinquish. release’ The tension says ‘do not move’ The breath says ‘you are free’ The habit pushes ‘control’ The mantra answers ‘surrender’ The spirit cries ‘scared. so scared’ The music sings ‘every little thing’s gonna be alright’ The head whispers ‘afraid of shadows’ Yoga answers ‘you are nothing but light’ The muscles complain ‘so tired’ Savasana responds ‘rest now. be still.’ The fear says ‘ordinary’ Namaste reminds ‘divine. divine. divine’ The self says ‘I am here’ Yoga says ‘yes, you are’ Om shanti shanti om" ~ David Booker.
