[read to us during yoga this morning — couldn’t help but think Social Media]
HERON by Leza Lowitz
Still as silence
what I hold in this life
is thousands of years of DNA,
the mystery of a moment
in which what falls away
is effort
and what changes
is everything
that grows longer
and stronger,
joyous
in flight.
From “Yoga Poems: Lines to Unfold By” by Leza Lowitz, (Stone Bridge Press)
Leza says: “Many thanks. I love sharing yoga and spreading the word about the transformative powers of yoga and poetry! Thanks for posting the link too. I have just finished a sequel to Yoga Poems and hope it will be published in 2010 or thereafter.
