Please enjoy my Poem, A Stream of Strength and Softness, that is an evocation, reflection and meditation upon my current experience of practicing yoga. Enjoy!
A Stream of Strength and Softness
A stream of
strength
and softness,
resistance
and relinquishing,
binding
and yielding,
opening
one’s Self
to the
Oneness,
a flower blossoming,
forgiving all
that was once harnessed,
clung to,
embedded,
thankful
for all that is
now
becoming,
healing,
energising,
a system of support,
a practice of
perpetuating purposefulness,
figuring out what feels right,
slowly,
and surely,
interoceptive,
integrated,
breathing through
as a balm,
soothing the nerves,
opening the mind,
healing the body,
apprehending Spirit,
time and space
disappearing,
unravelling
the limitlessness
of the cosmos,
to be one,
synchronous with all things,
and no thing,
dissolving
material attachment,
insoluble
spiritual essence,
a divine beingness,
the physical shell
relinquished,
yet reinforced
through rigor
and poise,
a dichotomous paradox,
to be spirit
in the physical plane
while mortal
in the spiritual realm,
letting go
and holding on,
finding purpose
and preparing for
nothing,
discovering
emptiness,
and
embedding
undividedness,
purity
and desire,
determined to
honour,
value
and protect
belongingness,
a natural friend
to my Self,
in kinship
with me,
I
with
the One,
all things
inter and intra
connected,
a quintessence
indistinguishable
to another,
roots
of association
forming
linkages,
reaching out
to all,
a true
faith
