Some days we get on the mat just to practice. Some days just for a stretch, others for a challenge. Many days we arrive on our mat to breathe, and step into our Self. Many days on our mat we may just go through the motions in a failed attempt to somehow sync up our day or our thoughts. Many days we dread getting on the mat or that next sequence just to realize how important it was to do what we dread so we find that peace, and stillness, so we may realize how much work we have to do, yet have also accomplished, and be grateful for the opportunity. Lots of days we get on the mat because we love yoga and how it makes us feel and what it does for our body,soul, and mind. Today, I will get on my mat for this reason...to honor my mother. To honor the little time we had together. To honor the strength I still recieve from her. To honor my family. To send them strength in their time of loss. Because it seems my mother has called her little brother home. So today I get on my mat to honor my family. To forgive myself for the lack of effort to stay connected. To forgive them for the same. To know just because we may not have much of a life of knowing one another, it doesnt mean we care for or love each other any less. To let go of any pain or resentment that has been held on to or masked by a lie. To open myself up to the always flowing stream of eternal consciousness that keeps me connected to the truth of who I am. So I may recieve strength to give and recieve to any and all suffering in the world. So I may heal my own suffering. So I may connect to the Source that gives and brings life, and not only understand but feel, whether present in physical form or gone to ethers of the universe, I and We are always connected. This is why I practice today.
