last week I was
stuck
in child’s pose
curled up small
trying to
take deep breaths
by Saturday
I was halfway up
head between knees
fingertips brushing
my toes
finally on Sunday
I was able to
slowly roll up
one vertebrae
at a time
until my hands
stretched upward
head turned up
facing the sun
Everyday Strange 
A powerful piece of writing. The title gives it the most meaning.

Thank you! I rarely write about current events but wanted to come up with something to reflect the roller coaster of last week.

There are so many lessons to learn in the practice of yoga and waiting. You have used both to find your way to upright and breathing.
