This is an inspiring poem I shared at the end the last Find Your Middle Ground and Winter Yin Workshop. Yin yoga is about going inwards and deeper, through the layers of our being until we touch that precious peace within. Beautiful words from Danna Faulds to bring us home to our guiding presence.
Here
Its always here, the silent
underpinning, the foundation
beneath the foundation.When
I reach deep enough into darkness,
~
inside fear, self doubt, aversion, or
despair, there’s something so intact
I almost miss it in my focus on
brokenness. Its always here, this
~
ground of being. ike the water in
which fish swim, its easy to overlook
the eloquence of truth. Its here, this
guiding presence, this calm, abiding
~
stillness. Its here when I don’t try
to make life any more or less than
what it is, when I stop trying to be
right. Its here when I unclench my
~
fists and breathe, when I let go of the
demand to make ife smooth or easy.
Its here, the oneness underying
multiplicity, the exquisite “is-ness”
~
of everything. I could shout it from
the rooftops, but its true no matter
what I say, and I know you’ll find
it in your own time, your own way,
~
that precious moment when you
choose to meet life exactly as it is.
