My Dancer’s Pose
Balanced
between the earth and sky
with
one foot grounded and
one fist’s fingers
extended
up
feet and fingers
feeling
for
my lines’
passages through
my
heart and mind
my thoughts
steadied by my heart’s
beating breathings
my
feelings warmed
by
my mind’s acceptance
of
balance reaching from the
ground
my foot a peaceful planting –
my
dancing pulses playing waltzes –
set
between stars inside our patient earth.

tied to my post later this week, “balance & yoga – a tidbit post, # 8,” the poem “my dancer’s pose” is titled to indicate this is definitely “my” experience
i’m pretentious at times 😉 but not to feel my own dance experience equates (beyond enjoyment and idiosyncratic personal meaning) to “the” dancer’s experience
yet, dancer’s pose (natarajasana) is one of my favorite postures
there’s a stillness mixed with movement in dancers pose i don’t feel as acutely with other standing poses, and this is something i explore each time I practice this
dancer’s pose seems to awaken an awareness in more than one level for me, it passes more easily to my other interests, which seems natural enough, but goes beyond merely happening to also like dance or aerobic movement –
or even beyond running and jogging, at least in what i did of that in my younger days 😉
i’m still working through ideas via my post for later this week
as usual, it’s a process 😉
namaste´- con dios – god be with you
