Why #yoga? Yehudi Menuhin's foreword to Light on Yoga (Iyengar):
"What is the alternative? Thwarted, warped people condemning the order of things ... autocrats slumped in expectant coronary attitudes, the tragic spectacle of people working out their own imbalance and frustration on others."
The practice of Yoga over the past fifteen years has convinced me that most of our fundamental attitudes to life have their physical counterparts in the body. Thus comparison and criticism must begin with the alignment of our own left and right sides to a degree at which even finer adjustments are feasible: or strength of will will cause us to start by stretching the body from the toes to the top of the head in defiance of gravity. Impetus and ambition might begin with the sense of weight and speed that comes with free-swinging limbs, instead of with the control of prolonged balance on foot, feet or hands, which gives poise. Tenacity is gained by stretching in various Yoga postures for minutes at a time, while calmness comes with quiet, consistent breathing and the expansion of the lungs. Continuity and a sense of the universal come with the knowledge of the inevitable alternation of tension and relaxation in eternal rhythms of which each inhalation and exhalation constitutes one cycle, wave or vibration among the countless myriads which are the universe.

To see the pattern is to not
Be deceived by the deception
To not struggle towards an
Imaginary truth, lost in the folds
Of complex philosophies
#metta
metta.pub/p/Nricr3L5
May I not resist what persists All reality is deception Feelings and characterisations The citta sańkhāra (चित्त संस्कार) Fabricated at the gates of perception Neither this persuasive truth Nor the opinions of others Can truthfully be trusted at all And to see through the design Is to direct its flow and Influence its effect To see the pattern is to not Be deceived by the deception To not struggle towards an Imaginary truth, lost in the folds Of complex philosophies When instead, it is to be found Right at the heart of deception

For it is well known that
Those who succeed,
Expect success
And those who fail
Fear failure
The habitually fearful
Have moments of hope
The habitually hopeful
Have moments of fear

For these objects that
Pull you asunder with
Promises of wealth and wonder
That you, weary traveller,
Gladly accept, in bargain
Forgoing possibilities
Richer and vaster
#metta

May I choose to unfollow this path For these objects that Pull you asunder with Promises of wealth and wonder That you, weary traveller, Gladly accept, in bargain Forgoing possibilities Richer and vaster Because you doubtfully And half-heartedly pursue Things in all their lustre Without stopping once to ask Why they muster so many With their pomp of bluster

Even at your best and noblest
You want to get to something
To health, to revelation, to divinity
And this getting to gets you nowhere
As you try, you prevent
#metta
metta.pub/p/hoiDTieA
May I 
try not 
to try Even at your best and noblest You want to get to something To health, to revelation, to divinity And this getting to gets you nowhere As you try, you prevent For consciousness centred in the ego Tends to subjugate and dominate All that roams freely and is Not bound its rules of reason But to freely explore possibilities Is to welcome all that is irrational To not try to direct their flow but Anticipate their pleasant surprises To receive their message And let them go

Always look out for good things.
"For some they come in with the tide. For others they sail forever on the same horizon, never out of sight, never landing until the Watcher turns his eyes away in resignation, his dreams mocked to death by Time."

Even precious, life-giving breath is given to you. You cannot hold on to it, you must let it go to take in the next one, and one day, you will let go of it for the last time.—Jinananda

“I know I’m a burden Cowboy. I went to see about my funeral. The man at Morgan’s funeral parlour said that it would cost $300 to open and close the grave, $85 for a headstone. I’m getting old Cowboy. My eyes. My eyes are going. I’ve been in the hospital. I… I don’t want to leave Cowboy.”

This pain is you
A reflection of your
Own naked vulnerability
#metta

May I choose not to avoid pain To not risk the pain Is to risk it all in the Deceptive arms of comfort For its seductive illusion Masks the pain of awareness This pain is you A reflection of your Own naked vulnerability This pain reveals The uncertainty within For the world reflects your Uncertainty back at you This pain reveals The frustration within The loneliness and sadness Of your longing to share

Tendencies (tendens) is a
Stretching to, towards, but
Back to well-known things
And like a spoilt child
Knows only when it is
Satisfied or crossed
#metta

May I not be limited by habits and tendencies Tendencies (tendens) is a Stretching to, towards, but Back to well-known things And like a spoilt child Knows only when it is Satisfied or crossed Much experienced habit Habituates the mind and Catalyses the actions that follow Like wine that permeates The wood of its cask Habit treacles through The deep structures of Unchangeable personality And personal identity

Beyond which logic cannot go
Things half-seen and half-heard so

May I make space for intuition Beyond which logic cannot go Things half-seen and half-heard so In expression, complexion, inflection Tone, colour, shape, and other Feeling textures that arrive whole Unlike the myriad little steps of Well-ordered reasoning Like a seed that germinates When conditions are ripe To recognise the pattern in the Noble proportions given to sense
