Those of you
who have not heard me tell you:
"Accept everyone as your Teacher,"
are baffled, or angry, or are sad
at my leaving.
"How can he just up and leave a yoga studio
and his students?"
and i say,
"In my ability to up and leave everything,
including you and your emotions...
IS
yoga!"
"Feel everything
attach to nothing."
- Mark Blanchard
just go
and
go within.
the world will continue
regardless of how much drama
you layer onto Her
impeccably brilliant and Divinely
recirculating folds...
just go...
go to the ponderosa and sleep beneath her needled arms.
just go...
go to the sandstone cliffs pestered by swallows and hawks
until you and Hawk are One.
just go...
go to the desert and let the Ancient Ones wither your skin
with their dry song
until you and eon merge into dehydrated, cracked earth.
because one day, soon enough
you will return
to television and gossip and stolen water and fabricated meaning
it will then be up to you to play the Teacher...
to share
whatever it is
you have learned
from eternity whispering to your Soul.
love to all of my Beloved Students
to whom i am leaving dangling...
to dangle
is
go(o)d.
fit, flexible, and ready for High Adventure
within the arms of our amazing Mother Earth
and our endlessly caring Father Sky...
so be it...
your feeble coach
