how a Yogi takes a selfie:
stop. renounce sight
welcome this one breath like it is your first
and may be your last
let it bring you to now
…and bring you to know
how are you
how are you not
who are you
who are you not
why are you
why are you not
what you stand for
what would you not stand for
allow self to be reduced to…
what you love ~ and serve that
enough #manipura
away the camera
your majesty cannot be measured in likes
only by the ripples of your heart offerings…
may all beings be happy and free
om shanti

Exquisite clarity and beauty on this magnificent snowy day! ! Thank you for your inspiration, wisdomand grace! !!
I hope that many see this, but that it gets no likes. I hope that
we reach peak-selfie soon and the hype can subside and we can return to our peaceful quiet practice of Yoga. Peace, -john
This gets a LOVE from me!
Well said, especially about knowing thyself and who you are not, reducing yourself to what you love. Very freeing. Thank you.
Nicely said!
