My practice moves from edge to edge,
exploring the limits of a stretch, the
inner realm of energy and breath. Each
movement plumbs new depths of
self-awareness. Who am I now, and
now, and now? Who holds this pose
with single-pointed focus, or loses
the thread of breath and stops to
find the center once again? Have I
reached my full expression, or is
there another defensive layer I can
shed? When I align my inner
compass to the truth, the essence
that I choose is self-acceptance,
corning home again and again
to the energy that bears me up
each time that I let go.
