It’s not easy to let go of control
To stop doing things the right way
Because you are afraid of doing it the wrong way
And messing it up
And looking bad
Yet you still try
Because that’s just what you do
While a tiny part of your mind screams
“What if.....”
I feel like all I’ve been doing
Is struggling
Struggling To keep up
As I watching Life and Time go past
And fast without me
And right there on my mat,
Is the answer
On my mat, I feel powerful
Because its where
I can be in control
and at the same time,
surrender to that which I cannot control
On my mat
is Where i have the power to choose
To add or subtract
Do Less or more of
Effort or Ease
or Just Be
On my mat
There is a certain knowing
I’ll be alright
That i can trust my body
That is safe to trust my body
It’s safe to trust myself and the path i’m on
On my mat
I’m safe.
I’m home.
