So many people start yoga
And so many give it up
Some of the reasons
Fear of competition
Being good enough
Keeping up
Not being able to
Perform the techniques of a guide
Others around
Or ego inside
Effort?
Dao is of not doing
The ethereal force of spirit
The body moves
Without thought
Or strife
Practice forever changing
Nature cycles through seasons of life
Change with the change
Listen to the voice within
The voice that reminds
There is nothing to succeed
No successor to be
No task to complete
No enemy to beat
These are the fool’s folly
Fight and flee
Not for the centred
The wise that can see
Follow the centre
Which emits sound and sight
Force and light
Hear without listening
See without looking
Know without questioning
That you are already complete
