Birdwings by Jalal al-Din Rumi Your grief for what you’ve lost lifts a mirror up to where you’re bravely working. Expecting the worst, you look, and instead, here’s the joyful face you’ve been wanting to see. Your hand opens and closes and opens and closes. If it were always a fist or always stretched open, you would be paralyzed. Your deepest presence is in every small contracting and expanding, the two as beautifully balanced and coordinated as birdwings. A feather from a Flicker, regular visits to our garden. #Yoga #IntegratedMovementTherapy #IMT #Grateful #WisdomWednesday #garden #feather #rumi #birds #flicker #striped #hand

"Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten." -Neil Gaiman Reflecting today on my yoga journey. How practice yoga helped me to help myself and inspired me to help others. Yoga is an integral tool in managing my chronic back pain. It is also vital for healing my deeply traumatic childhood.

Last Night the Rain Spoke To Me . By Mary Oliver . Last night the rain spoke to me slowly, saying, . what joy to come falling out of the brisk cloud, to be happy again . in a new way on the earth! That’s what it said as it dropped, . smelling of iron, and vanished like a dream of the ocean into the branches . and the grass below. Then it was over. The sky cleared. I was standing . under a tree. The tree was a tree with happy leaves, and I was myself, . and there were stars in the sky that were also themselves at the moment, at which moment . my right hand was holding my left hand which was holding the tree which was filled with stars . and the soft rain— imagine! imagine! the wild and wondrous journeys still to be ours. . #Yoga #Grateful #IntegratedMovementTherapy #IMT #WednesdayWisdom #filledwithstars #poetry #MaryOliver #raindrops💧 #rain #autumn🍁 #leaves (at Mt.
