Blog-asana: Words on Yoga
Today I Failed
Today, it wasn't happening for me. I tried to do some difficult things. It didn't work out.
So then I tried to do some things I can usually do. You know that stuff that you can't do and then you work on it and then you can do it? Yeah, I couldn't do that either.
Then I tried to do some easy stuff.
Yeah, no.
Today I failed.
And then I got on my mat. I felt my breath. I spread my toes and lifted my hands and stretched up. I let my hands fall and felt my bones settle back down.
And I thought, This. I can do this.
And then I practiced. And I failed at poses, and I forgot my drishti, and I lost track of my breath.
But today I practiced.
And that was enough.
