Susie Ryan is a beautiful human being, inside and out. Since February she has helped me to find my own inner peace through yoga as well as challenging my body to get into positions I never thought would actually feel good—pigeon pose anyone? She and her husband led a hike, previously blogged about on October 11th "A Billy Goat Day," but when I saw a bunch of the people from the hike at the start of Tuesday’s yoga class it really hit home…I love the new people I’ve surrounded myself with. Tea after each class with your instructor and fellow yogis means sharing your spirit and is another great layer of opening up to life for me. Today celebrates a piece of mind and has some passages used by my yoga instructors lately. I’m thankful for all of the goodness that comes my way and I love this poem by e.e.cummings, oft quoted by yogis and people who are seeking the good life.
i thank you God for most this amazing... (65)
thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes
(i who have died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday; this is the birth
day of life and love and wings: and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)
how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no
of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginably You?
(now the ears of my ears awake and now the eyes of my eyes are opened)
