WITHIN

No matter how busy you are
Take time to slow down
Even for a few minutes.
Remember what is important.
Joy-
Live Joy
Express Joy
To me that is the essence
Of Yoga
Tai Chi
And all Forms of movement.
I believe in movement
More than exercise-
I call it
The symphony
Of the body
As you stretch
Feel the melodies
Playing through you
Dancing in your bloodstream
Feel
The Breath
As percussion
The heart as rhythm.
This is to me
The first priority
Because
This is where
LOVE
Springs forth
And real connection with
Your whole being
And the Universe-
Life without this
Is a form of insanity.
Life like this
Inspires
And opens up
Real possibilities-
People chase money
Fame
Success
None of them
Can make you happy alone
They are not bad
But without inner harmony
They are meaningless.
It is important to remember
What matters
And try
To live It.
At least a little
And love yourself enough
To take care of yourself.
