Every night at yoga, as we're ending the relaxation portion, the instructor reads us a poem or passage. They're always so beautiful and uplifting; I've said to myself each time "this is good, you should post it up". Well I'm finally getting around to it this week. Here is last night's passage:
Birthright – Danna Faulds
Despite illness of body or mind,
In spite of blinding despair or habitual
belief, who you are is whole.
Let nothing keep you separate from the truth.
The soul, illumined from within, longs to be
known for what it is. Undying, untouched by
fire or the storms of life, there is a place inside
where stillness and abiding peace reside. You can
ride the breath to go there. Despite doubt or
hopeless turns of mind, you are not broken.
Spirit surrounds, embraces, fills you from the inside out.
release everything that isn’t your true nature.
What’s left, the fullness, light, shadow, claim all that
as your birthright.
