"Stillness is what creates love. Movement is what creates life. To be still and still moving—this is everything.” ~ Do Hyun Choe

 

At the dawn of time


through the darkness 


and silence of the universe, 


the first breath was heard.



It reached across infinity


and breathed life into the first


vestiges of humanity.


Carrying the eternal 


spark of divinity, it filled


all of life with hope and purpose.



As I watch the ocean


I can see the planet breathe,


each exhalation leading to a 


sacred renewal, 


each inhalation leading to rebirth.



Breathe into the heart. 


It will not burst,


it will flourish.

 

I hope you enjoyed this little bit of poetry.

Let me know in the comments what you thought about it. And maybe try a bit of pranayama, for FREE, on me.

DONATING = LOVING

Every month, I spend hundreds of hours keeping the Yoga Shakti Blog going. Since 2005, it has remained free, ad-free and alive thanks to patronage from readers. I have no staff, no interns, not even an assistant — it is a thoroughly one-woman labor of love that is also my life and my livelihood. If this labor makes your own life more livable in any way, please consider aiding its sustenance with a one-time or loyal donation. Your support makes all the difference.

ONE-TIME DONATION 

You can also become a spontaneous supporter with a one-time donation in any amount — between a cup of tea or a lunch.

FROM THE ARCHIVES

Also: Because The Yoga Shakti Blog is well into its second decade and because I write primarily about ideas of timeless nourishment, each week I dive into the archive and resurface from among the thousands of essays one worth re-savoring. Subscribe to this free occasional pick-me-up for heart, mind, and spirit below — it is separate from the standard blog subscription of new pieces.

Thanks for subscribing!
