What Have You Found?

/

Today has been one of those days when I have trouble letting go. I am trying to remind myself of a new mantra:


It is just you and your breath, and all the emptiness.


Presence, balance, strength, courage: what yoga builds in us. It takes years -- a lifetime -- to earn our own trust, to piece ourselves together. Sometimes, though, I just want to be somewhere.


Satisfaction in arrival -- we give this up in hope for something greater. And without a destination, we are allowed to wander, to experience all that is around us.


I would say I will get there someday, but that would defeat the purpose, now wouldn't it?
