INVOLVE HER



A lovely yoga teacher mentioned how important the breath was during her class. The phrase she used caught my ear, and led me to this prose. 

Restricted, constricted, we hold back the power

We hide, we’ve lied, we cling and then cower

We hold on, we hold on – waiting for that perfect space

We hold on, we hold on – grasping for something safe

We’re blind to the bliss, the grand state of glory 

We repeat the lines to some old, worn-out story

What have we forgotten, what don’t we consider? 

It’s the power of the breath – shall we include her? 

 

She is expansion, she is the heights, the breadth 

She is the inhale and exhale, she is the breath

The urgency of her sustenance is met when we must

The depth of her being is explored when we trust

The gift she brings originates from a haven high above 

The gift of her giving comes from a pure state of love

No longer do we fear her, no longer do we spite her 

It is the magnificence of the breath – let us invite her

 

Nowhere can we go where she does not go along

Nowhere can we flow where the melody misplaces the song

Nothing can invalidate her, nothing can replace her 

It is the beauty of the breath – we can only embrace her

The effortless grace found in the interweaving fabric of life

The dark turning to light, before again the day turns into night 

The mysterious puzzle, something to behold, we cannot solve her

It is the power and the wonder of the breath – let us involve her

Yes, in the end, as it was in the beginning – let us involve her
