"What if we could reclaim what it means to have enough courage that we protect all that we love, including ourselves?" -- from Sphinx Pose by Corie Feiner
"...the dare to love myself enough to spend some time with myself and be, again, in wonder." Love this little bit of wisdom. It's the feeling I'd like to have while practicing yoga, and really in just life in general!
I adore this poem, Corie. I feel so much strength in the 'what ifs' here. The conceptualizing of these wonderful 'what ifs' comes from the shape of the sphinx as you so eloquently point out. I will never do sphinx again without embodying this gift. Thank you!
This is wonderful! I especially like this bit: and a head
that wears the same crown as the sun

Thank you so much, Patty!
This is one of my new favorite lines of yours:
"if no one believes in serpents or mythical
gods anymore who play jokes on each other
just for fun, we will remain in desert wind stillness
and be studied for the wonder of the world that we are."
Feels like there's a lot to 'unpack' as they say.
