Warrior 1 - Virabhadrasana 1

"Whatever you are physically, male or female, strong or weak, ill or healthy--all those things matter less than what your heart contains. If you have the soul of a warrior, you are a warrior. All those other things, they are the glass that contains the lamp, but you are the light inside."

- Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel

Crescent Lunge Variation

I am reminded today during my practice that some things are hard to do/endure/accept.

There is a stillness after pushing through a difficult pose.
As there is a stillness when I push through my difficult mind.
A love to embrace.

An energy to share in.
A victory to make mine.

What victory will be yours today?
