Anyway, occasionally the gal who teaches the class will read us a poem from her little book of yoga poetry. Generally the reading will have something to do with one of the poses we did that today. While we didn't do this posture today, the poem really struck home.
Sutra Hasta Majariasana
"Threading the Needle"
Untangling a knot
that is my life
the knot becomes my teacher.
Gathering the threads into one,
unraveling the closed-up space
a glimmer of light
surfaces between strands.
The needle that is sharp
at dawn
might be broken by dusk.
The thread that is straight today
doesn't know
it will be knotted tomorrow.
The knot
that is tangled today
could be woven into gold
ten years from now.
That is why
I thread the needle,
honoring the odds
steadying my arms
softening my breath
working the knot,
trusting.
If you're interested, this is a video showing you how to do the posture that the poem is referring to. :)
Namaste!
Awh! Love it...glad that poem spoke to you. The book is YOGA POEMS by Leza Lowitz. It makes me so happy when Yoga really inspires and pulls at a heart string!

Hey, it's 2013. You need to make a post or something for the new year.
