What is being revealed to you in this
moment? Have you reached a cul-d-sac?
I just finished reading a post from Spirituality and Health by Mark Nepo, author and poet:
The Book of Awakening: Having the
Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have (2000)
Here is the last piece of it -

Seeds to Water
“In
your journal, describe an inheritance of values or goals that no
longer works for you. Describe your history with this inheritance:
how it came to you, how it worked for you, and when it stopped being
relevant. Describe how you’re finding your way beyond what others
dreamed for you. In conversation with a friend or loved one, describe
an expectation you had for yourself that didn’t come true. What
happened when you reached the end of your expectation? What did you
discover at the end of your pre-imagined path? How do you hold this
unfolding?”
The art and craft of yoga asks that you
cultivate awareness, wisdom, and action. This can take the form of
adherence to the Yamas and Niyamas of yoga, ethical observations and
restraints, two of the Eight Limbgs of yoga.
Out practice is not just physical
movement on the island of our mat but off the mat into the integrity
of our being in the world. Consistent observance with awareness of
our relationships within, without, inter-personal and trans-personal.
