YOGA
marriage is to join heart, mind and breath shouldn’t be so hard to do
still there just does not seem to be time the work i do is never finished
i stand on the sideline trying to remember the plays sometimes i try to remember
sometimes i try to forget either way can be hard to do
one day perhaps i will get back to yoga regularly
join heart, mind and breath there again perhaps the sun will set
and i will still be waiting see myself in practice only in my mind’s eye

Yoga meaning union. I like how you compare the two unions, that of marriage, with that of mind, body, and spirit. And I agree: that whatever I am doing in this moment takes up my principle concern. Marriage and Yoga are two things, I think I should think about, but seldom do.

I once loved tai chi. But when I tried it again in later years my mind could not retain the sequences of the movements. I was slowing down the class so stopped going. Sigh. I miss it though.
If we can breathe, even from the sidelines, that is half the journey. The heart isn't blocked by the brain or muscles. And I know I have never fully united--just bits here and there.
Our busy lives get in the way of so much ....
Indeed there sometimes is not enough time to do all of the things that we want to do or should do. I like the reflectiveness of this poem & the honesty!
Well, this is an inspiration. I love yoga so much, but I am allowing myself to just sort of wallow in not quite self-pitty but depression - when I could find a yoga class I like - I really miss it. Maybe your words will push me into it . . . maybe.
Oh, I forgot to tell you I love your paintings!
