an inner warrior

Not a lot of people can call themselves fearless. I am not fearless. In fact, a lot of things scare me. Snakes, death, rejection, betrayal, illness, pain, separation, and the list goes on. And when I fear, I have a tendency to flee - whether physically or emotionally (or both).

However, in practicing yoga I learned that I am strong. This is a reminder - more to myself than to anyone else - that there resides within me a warrior.

When we are starting to lose our voices, when we feel threatened or shaken, when we want to flee, may we always find our inner warriors. Some things, people, or circumstances may be bigger, stronger, and more powerful than us but may we allow our inner warriors to shelter us so that we may never lose ourselves in any battle.

The wind may be strong but so am I.
