Ashtanga

Yoga

union

listening to myself

the environment

those around me

it's challenging and rewarding

tapas remedy

willful determination

working through

burning out

weeding my garden

to give preference to

the plants i want to foster

i'm transitioning

from the physical to the

spiritual

this meditation

is going deeper

less distractions

as i distinguish and become

aware of all around me

no longer a mere observer in this

world

taking back the environments

i inhabit

and transforming

my world

eight limbs

with which to do so

Thunder Moon

Body wet from countless dips in ponds, pools, and lakes

drying quick in summer sun

I couldn't ask for more...

well yes I could, but

to not enjoy the present moments that I'm given

and hope for something more would be wrong.

This is more than enough and I need to stand on my own two feet

This fire sign i'm assigned to leads to fiery passion

Good and bad

I am all over the tasks that spark my interest

but I overwhelm those that aren't ready for my heat

I don't like to scorch the earth I love so much.

It's a boys summer, at least for me

maybe it's good I'm seeking to strengthen that left side

that feminine

that yin

sigh

Suspire

I'm exploring this new place....it's so warm
Not unpleasant
cleansing
My familiar weeds (peers) aren't here to hold up my stalk
but i just continue to follow that light
track the father sun
till i regain the strength on my own
i just need to keep
suspiring
