I know what I want. Doesn’t mean I get it. They said Knowing is Half the Battle or I’m making that up. Sharing is caring? There is some static in my reception as you can see from the picture.

Best to conserve battery power.

I am a singular person and a walking cliche.

I move through the line
Aware of the appearance
Still wondering
How far I can go.

Self awareness is not comfortable
It averages out well if you
stay true and humble
What I think of me matters

In search of healthy conflict
I know the key to surviving
is wrapped in acceptance
Loving east as I move west.

It warms my heart
Enveloped in the bestDaily life I’ve ever known
Alone for the first time.

Yoga is about stillness. I’m missing the chance to learn from women that understand this far better than I do. I’m staying home because the stillness of today is amazing. I’m alone. I don’t have work today. I don’t have chores. I don’t have responsibility. At least nothing pressing. The list of shoulds in my head could take over if I think too hard. So my yoga practice today is to remain still.

Eventually I’ll need food.

Ants ranging about
This once fertile table
Deciding between spilt beer
Or not
A civilization
Of scavengers
Dictated
by a woman

What if the queen
Had ambition?
Maybe she just needs
Someone to pine for
An easel to fill
Another trip to the beach
One more glass of wine

By the time you know
The world has moved
And she with it
Thanks for playing.

The blue part of my throat
starts in my chest. I move through
the waves
of
thestartofsomething….

What I mean to say is I have trouble separating my throat from my chest. So much of what I feel is centered between my lungs. So much of what I say is drawn from that well of emotion sometimes I know I just shouldn’t speak.

I’m rarely speechless.

I remember a time when I was too young to know any better. I was told one lie and that changed everything. I’d been in a nest of integrity for so much longer … I didn’t know what being in a group feels like, but this was when I started to find my groups.

 

*Ahem*

I brought it back to the yoga today.  The trine of time, energy and intention conjoined an hour before work.  I did the 4 poses I need to ground myself.  My feet haven’t left the earth since.  The 15 minute savasana clicked everything in place.  I need that type of grounding with the moon getting all big and shiny like that.  I caught myself just in time.  The way I avoid trouble is making my own on a much smaller scale.  It’s entertaining and I’m remembering things that are important.  Like the yoga.  See, it works.
