A Forgiving Practice

A forgiving practice:

of course my forgiving practice starts upon waking, that whatever was before the night is now gone and instantly surrendered, this morning is a return to innocence and I’m ready to embrace it. My day begins with meditation and yoga and this too is a forgiving practice, after years my mind will still wander from the mantra, I will fall from poses that I’ve performed fro decades — and each moment calls for my forgiveness, the simplicity and easiness of holding no grievance towards either my mind or body.

just forgiving myself for any judgments held.

and returning to the practice.

that’s how my day unfolds, forgiving the belief that mistakes were truly ever made, proceeding gently through life with the ease of returning always to the present moment, relaxing, smiling, surrendering…

returning to the practice.

until it’s not needed any more.

Peace, Eric
