Small Stone: Day 25

Small Stone: Late Bloomer

You’ve never bloomed this late. It’s just one blossom, but still. Your hot pink pistil shoots straight out like a rocket, petals bent back from the sheer force of it. You remind me that it’s never too late, and that a single, focused act, small but true, can cut through the dullness of a moment, wake you up and make you notice.

Small Stone: Day 24

Small Stone: Headstand

Upside down, love rushes towards you.
Surrender, effort, release, engagement.
Relax.
Take care.
Breathe.
Stay.
Rest.
Be mindful.
Remember your intention.
When you are ready, when you are done–gently let go.
Thank goodness the wall is there.
Thank goodness the teacher is there.
Thank goodness for headstands in yoga.
