On Yoga

Then the  Yoga teacher training assignment  came forth and said.... Speak to us of Yoga.

And the student answered ,saying: Yoga is a freedom song,

 

But .....it is not freedom,It is a blossoming of ones self

But... it is not the fruit

It is a depth calling unto a height,

But.... it is not the deep nor the high

It is the confined taking  wing

But.... it is not a space encompassed

Yes,In very truth it is a freedom song

 

 The human  body knows it's yearnings,and its rightful need,and will not be decieved.

 And my  body is the harp of my soul,

 And it is mine to bring forth sweet music

  from it ,or confused sounds

 

I go  to my field and my garden

And have learned  that it is the joy of the bee to gather honey from the flowers

But it is also the  joy of the flowers to yield its honey to the bee

 

As a yoga student growing in her  practise, I am not unlike the flower and the bee--
