The Glory of the Pose

This keeps clanging around in my head:

“Never kill the instinct of the body for the glory of the pose.” Vonda Scaravelli

What if we dropped everything; all the stories in our heads; all thoughts of difference and vengence and me, me, me; all our self-labels; all our exhausting self-criticism; all our fears; all our attitudes; all our arrogance; all our pride that somehow, we’re really different from everyone else, that our problems are unique; and just breathed.

One breath in and one breath out.

What then might we learn from our bodies?

Namaste.
