This morning I continued the tradition of doing as many Sun Salutations as my age. Each one dedicated to that particular year of my life, from a thought in my parents hearts, to womb, to kicking and screaming, then growing up, tragedy, triumph, miracles, meltdowns, successes, failures, loves, heartbreaks, friendships present and past, perfect health, sicknesses, life, death, falling off bikes, climbing mountains, snowboarding through powder, dreams, desires, camping trips, University, Casey and Betty, acne, eating disorders, tattoos, road trips, yoga trips, yoga, light, dark, sandals, snowshoes, lakes, rivers, sunrises, sunsets, amazing ideas, very bad ideas, psychiatric hospitals, laughing hysterically, smiles, tears, promises, truth, lies, responsibilities, irresponsibility, awards, trophies, races, beaches, dinner parties, front porches, baby birds, beauty marks, hand made scars, laundry on the clothes line, hands in the wet cement, bike paths, double bikes, meteor showers, northern lights, asthma attacks, pranayama, jobless, best job in the world, single, engaged, soon to be married, happy, in love, proud.........
So many memories blasted through my mind in every round, there were moments during the sun salutations that I was sobbing, eyes soaked, sweating, smiling, laughing, talking to myself, talking to my dog, singing, chanting, feeling the support of the universe in the form of a warm breeze coming through the open windows, wanting to quit, wanting to keep going, heart pulsing, every cobra sliding through the patch of sun on the floor, birds singing...
I treasure my life now, then and always, and i am beyond grateful for all that I have, for consciousness, for love, light, peace and hope. Thanks for sharing this day with me in any form....
