At yoga today, the instructor said:
“try to keep your balance but if you need support that’s okay. You’re still balancing even if you’re being supported. What’s important is that you’re still breathing.”
And that stuck with me.

ODE TO MURALIDHAR (KRSNA)
O Divine Flute-Player:
How You attract souls towards You
With Your alluring melodies
Is beyond comprehension.
You melt all in the crucible of Divine Beauty
And Love Profound!
Sweet Muralidhar,
Let all your bhaktas taste
The sweetness of Your Sacred nectar,
Savored through the remembrance of Your Holy Name!
Love Divine, Sweet Love!
Come, play the Tune of Bliss
In the flute of our Spine!
Our Souls shall then sing,
Your ambrosial melodies.
Let the Wind of Your Divine Breath
Ascend and Descend through us!
Then shall the song of Divine Praise resound
Through us, Your intoxicated lovers!

Savasana? Don't Know Her.
Oh savasana. A necessity...
But one that evades me
Longer than three minutes laying down?
Aaaand I'm asleep
My mind runs constantly
Flowing with thoughts and ideas
Yes, it's understood
This is the point
To use these moments
As a learning tool
On the path to become
Mentally stronger and aware
But for now
I will write
For ten ideas arrive
And by the time savasana is over
There will maybe be three
That get written down

Serious bandhas
All in a day's advent
Slowing spacetime right
Down to a single event
Hence visions arrive
From all the very selves
To whom we give rise
Simply feeling satisfied
Prioritising straight lines
And first choice drives
Stay still in the moment
Appreciate absent danger
Bio-unit's not threatened
Status and rank intact
Higher faculties engage
Am totally in control
Release neurochemicals
Purples, reds and yellows of
A narcotic state of mind

I found a path
One that serves
Purpose
One that makes me
Want to do good by
Others
One that makes days
Feel like hours
And hours
Feel like minutes
One that makes a difference.

poem: homework
breathe into the tight spots,
twist and turn,
shape shift,
transcend.
unlock your tense vaults,
let everything fall away,
quiet your mind,
surrender.
feel the ground beneath you,
rest your weary head,
inhale,
exhale.

"MATA DARSHAN": A short ode to Maa Kali
In a dream,
Maa said to me:
"Come my child, towards Me!"
The spirit flew and came into Your abode
All was pitch black, and I came looking for You
Until I saw a Flame burning fiercely in the midst of the darkness
"Come, my child, I am the Flame. I desire to let you be consumed!"
Like a moth enamored by the scintillation,
This Jiva threw itself in the midst of the pyre.
Everything crumbled into ashes,
Pulverized by that ravening Fire.
None was left,
Save Your eyes which twinkled in the bosom of the Void.
"You are watched", said Maa
"I have watched", said Maa
"And I will continually watch You!" said Maa.

what i really need is someone who understands my passions, i feel like i'm getting so numb from only ever talking about other people's interests, at best scratching the surface of the things i enjoy, because nobody i know really gets it and i never meet new people.
