Inspiration – Beneath the Surface

~
Beneath The Surface

What will I know if I go
below the choppy surface
of the mind? Focus flow,
and there are no fixed points.
Slow currents swirl, and slip
still deeper. I grow very quiet.
The mind attends the subtlest
sensations. Its a different 
world and I am an explorer
of these hidden realms, where
nothing stays the same for 
very long. Energy shifts and
changes. I find peace beneath
the surface, bring it back with
me, hold it in my hands like a
small, white bird and then
release it, that peace might
fly where its most needed.

from "One Soul" More Poems from the Heart of Yoga

I shared this poem at the end of a slow and gentle Energy Yoga class last week. Danna Faulds words touch the soul, and remind us of what is most important. They bring hope and inspiration as we move through the highs and lows of life.

May you take time to land in this sacred peaceful place within. Be a kind and curious explorer and see the world anew.
