Yoga Poetry: Rest in Wholeness
September 3, 2015

Why do I resist to rest?
When everything in me
Knows it is good for me.
More than “good for me”
Rest nourishes by body,
Eases my mind, enlivens my spirit
So what’s the problem?
What’s this really about?
What’s the challenge in rest?
Is it that I believe
I don’t deserve the
Sweet rewards of sacred rest?
Is it that I need to keep churning with ideas
And words and deeds to
Believe I am relevant?
Is it just that I am too
damn stubborn?
I take a breath.
I savor the moment.
And I realize today that in choosing to
Practice rest
I do not need to have all the answers.
