when i am tired and aching, sinuses congested, head clogged, and i’ve just had that same old fight AGAIN, all i want to do is curl up beneath the pure white cotton duvet for now and metamorphose later.

then i get up, get on my bike and go to yoga.

no more complicated conversations, no more stressful expectations or head colds or dirty bathrooms. no more job worries, plans, fretful memories, guilty consciences, half-finished projects or difficult decisions to make. no more then, only now.

and so i lay still and breathe. and then i stretch, lift, hold my body. i create space instead of tension, and i flow effortlessly. in. out. in. out.

life gets complicated when i forget to breathe.
