One of the best things about yoga (if not THE best), is that after each practice, you really do grow and you really do transcend into a higher self. You become enlightened by your own abilities and the miracles of your amazing body. You learn, you discover a lot about yourself, and you gain a great deal of humility. When all of this radiates from ourselves, we put peace into our lives and into the lives of those around us.
Come to me
Let me feel the warmth of your breath on my ear as you swipe my hair away
Let me feel the delicate touch of your hands, a touch so light yet it makes my very bones tremble
Be with me
Let me feel your velvet lips, as they so carefully unite with mine
Let me feel your tongue slip into the space where notes of pleasure vibrate, and where I taste your nectar
Take me with you
Let me feel your fingers tread down my skin, as I anxiously await them to land between my thighs
Let me feel you parting the walls where you have created a stream to ease your way into me
Please
Let me feel your every desire, as I inhale you and drink every worry that could pierce and afflict your soul
Let me feel you ravish my body, as you indulge in me and as I exhale my every sorrow in the dance of your love.
“There must be more to life than having everything.” -Maurice Sendak
When we learn to let go, we learn so much about ourselves; and no matter where our feelings may take us and for however long, we find that we always come back to a place we love and to a place where we feel love…even if we first have to go to a place where the wild things are, to learn that :P
Rest in peace.
I want to twirl and dance in a forest
to the soft wind rustling through the trees,
to the birds harmonizing with the chorus of the wind,
to the crisp leaves sparkling under my feet,
to the vibrations of the animals trotting on the leaves,
to the bubbling waters of a nearby creek,
to the toppling rocks through the cascading waters,
to the music of the earth,
that twirls and dances to my breath.
SHE LET GO
by Ernest Holmes
She let go.
Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of
opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the ‘right’ reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry,
she just let go.
She didn’t ask anyone for advice.
She didn’t read a book on how to let go.
She didn’t search the scriptures.
She just let go.
She let go of all the memories that held her back.
She let go of all the anxiety
that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning
and all of the calculations
about how to do it just right.
She didn’t promise to let go.
She didn’t journal about it.
She didn’t write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement
and put no ad in the paper.
She didn’t check the weather report
or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.
She didn’t analyze whether she should let go.
She didn’t call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn’t do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn’t call the prayer line.
She didn’t utter one word.
She just let go.
No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree,
she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad.
It was what it was,
and it is just that.
In the space of letting go,
she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone forevermore…
“Under heaven all can see beauty as beauty only because there is ugliness.
All can know good as good only because there is evil.
Therefore having and not having arise together.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short contrast each other:
High and low rest upon each other;
Voice and sound harmonize each other;
Front and back follow one another…”
- Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Verse 2
