stepping on to the mat


stepping onto the mat
each day brings forth the grace
that constantly flows

yet in the constant flow I wonder -

how it is so easy to forget
that sense of inner divinity

i smile at how nothing is as clear off the mat
as it is on the mat

off the mat i constantly stumble
but when on i flow like a rolling thunder

heart and lungs driving my locomotive body

inhale tadasana to high mountain
exhale down to uttanasna
inhale ardha uttanasa looking forward and the joyful
exhale jump back chatturangua dandasana
inhale urdva mukha savasana
exhale adho mukha savansana
inhale bending the knees looking forward exhaling and
end of exhale flying back to uttanasna and
inhale rising all the way up
high mountain
exhale back to tadasana anjali mudra and
the vinyasa is complete

i am complete
whole,

so complete and beautiful
just as I always was

yet so easy i somehow forget
all that love and grace


namaste,
john r
love and grace
