and I went into a dream(1)
I flowed with amazing strength and grace as I moved from asana to asana. I floated like a feather connected to a birds wing. There was no resistance and I moved as if joy was the lubricant of my movement.
Standing asanas were strong and artful almost ballet like; lite and appearing effortless. It was as if gravity was there only to keep me from floating away. There was a resounding feeling of peace and calm. My feet felt like they are connected to the ground by post-it-note glue. They stay where they are until I decide to move them.
My balance is centred in the universe as my arms extend to the sun. I feel the power generated by my legs; they provide support as I move strongly, slowly, and with purpose. My breath invigorates and feeds my body with life’s essence. I’m on a journey to Nirvana(2).
As I sit I am perfectly aligned with my body and my spirit. My spine stacked in an effortless use of gravity. I fold forward grab my toes and feel the warmth that I have generated. I go deeper and imagine what it must feel like to be one.
Even on the ground I’m floating as I move from asana to asana. The ease in which I bend, twist, and fold represents the work and effort that has past before. My body feels not the age that I am but the suppleness of an age long ago used up.
My mind frees itself of thought and allows my spirit to cross the universe. You can see me as I’m without influence, time, or worry. I’m reimagined as an element of peace, joy, and love. Time provides only for those who see it.
As I move I’m in a space that belongs to me. But I arrive at a place where I’m joined. I can feel the essence being shared. I belong here. I’m shared in time that is far too short but also an eternity. It’s where I want to be but unfortunately can not exist.
I can dream can’t I.
Be safe
