I just thought of you

I thought of you, my dear yoga friends, when I heard this read to me today in a yoga class.  Hope it will brighten your day as it did mine.






ON A DAY WHEN THE WIND IS PERFECT
 
On a day
when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open and the world is full of beauty.
Today is such a
day.
 
My eyes are like the sun that makes promises;
the promise of life
that it always
keeps
 
each morning.
 
The living heart gives to us as does that luminous sphere,
both caress the earth with great
tenderness.
 
This is a breeze that can enter the soul.
This love I know plays a drum.  Arms move around me;
who can contain their self before my beauty?
 
Peace is wonderful,
but ecstatic dance is more fun, and less narcissistic;
gregarious He makes our lips.
 
On a day when the wind is perfect,
the sail just needs to open
and the love starts.
 
Today is such
a day.
