Samasthiti…
I would like to tell you that I am the perfect yogi…1…
That my gaze never drifts from my nose…2…
That I have never lost count of which Surya Namaskara I was on…3…
That I not only count every single breath…4, 5…

But also follow its entire cycle from beginning to end…inhale, exhale
That I’ve never once looked across the room to a person in a more advanced series…1, 2, 3…
And thought to myself “I will never get there”…4, 5, inhale, exhale…
Or planned my day…1, 2, 3, 4…
Or recounted a conversation I had…5, inhale, exhale, 1…
But this is why we call it a practice…2, 3, 4, 5….
And every day, as I move further into my program…inhale, exhale, 1, 2, 3….
The thoughts become fewer and fewer…4, 5, inhale, exhale, 1
My identity, my worries, all the things outside of myself melts away…2, 3, 4, 5, inhale, exhale
And I am left with only the sweet sound…1, 2, 3, 4, 5…
Of my breath…inhale, exhale…
… Savasana
