As I prepare to leave for Austin, Texas in a few days for my yoga training, I have been jotting down my thoughts and feelings in the form of poetry. These words are simply pure expression. They are not necessarily about yoga specifically, but are the thoughts that have arisen along with my current hopes of succeeding as a yoga teacher. Honestly, it may be hard to draw any correlation between the poems and yoga, but for me, the words speak my soul nonetheless. This soul is aligned in yoga.


Light + Snow

In light and snow I indulge in my true nature
To unconditionally love myself
Is forever indulging in this state

The shimmer of snow made visible by light
Is a glimpse of the vast soul within us all
A soft sparkle

What does it look like?
                    
                         No form.

Vapor? Spirit?

The containing noncontainer. The ever pervading breath.

My eyes.
Your eyes.

        ...the feeling...

                          >inside<
                         <outside>

                read between the lines.



Blue

Blue.
Every blueness has it's depth.
The melancholy emotional blues, the blueness of the boundless sky, the blue depths of a vast ocean.
Each expression of blueness is valuable and applicable to human, animal, US.

This collective beating heart and inevitable breath.

Blue is us as it beckons the soul to release into equilibrium as ethereal and solid, lofty yet grounded in
The human form.
Softness...
Oneness...
Blueness.
