Warming

Who is praying for me today?
Because I feel the warmth,
the lifting up
of my soul's bones towards light -

the mercy of little thoughts
directed outward
and the embrace of goodness.

Maybe there is a secret well
my spirit knew how to find
or she has been storing
seeds of kindness for just this day -

because I have felt the widening
in my chest and mind
and life again is worthy.

Personal Sutra

By ignoring the leanings toward guilt,

and cultivating confidence

the path of yoga becomes more clear.
