Thank you for being super supporters and for listening to my poems. You are my heroes!
And here is the text of the poem, again, in case you want to read along, read it aloud, or share it with a friend.
Hero Pose
By Corie Feiner What does it mean to be a hero? To kneel on any piece of floor you can find, your knees pressed together, your feet apart, your big toes reaching towards each other in stillness and longing? What does it mean to lean forwards and backwards at the same time? To bring ourselves closer to ourselves, and to this earth? To ask, What battles rage inside of me? And to conquer them, not with the steel blade of anger or the shoveled dirt of burring them deep inside, but with the devotion of breath that is born of the wind. Ask yourself, What do I love the most? Then leap towards it, ready to become a mountain, a drop of ocean water, a self-contained storm. Sanskrit Name: Virasana
