I know that I am strong. I know that I am not some diaphanous piece of chiffon which is easily tossed in the wind before it is no more. A thought. A memory. A whisper of a fantasy. I realize that I am strong and everlasting.

Much like the prayer flags I hang on a windy day. My body may break. My heart may fray with much use. It is so open to the world My spirit may even yearn to run. But even broken and battered I still am able to stay true to my purpose. I stay my course. I do not falter. I shall not fail. My goodness touches and reaches all who wish to know me. My heart shall remain open and spread goodness and light.

I am my morning Surya Namaskara. The sun my lover and the universe my friend. With strength which comes from my core, I continue to journey through life. I remain open and strong. Like the Bhujangasana I practice, my heart and spirit are strong and flexible. They allow me to see the beauty in everything around me and to bend and sway with the changes as a reed. Never breaking. Always changing. Never closing. Always receiving.

I am beauty, not exteral, light, and strength. Feel that in my love. For in my strength, I am strong enough to love you…❤🙏🏾
