I am like an autumn leaf
Fiery, red, yellow, rising
Into the blue sky, wide open
Floating up in the air
Full of intellectual passions
Wafting down to the stream
Dancing upon the rivulets
Flowing between the pebbles, rocks
Hard. Earth is hard for me.
Note: earth here refers to one of five elements (with sky, water, air,
fire). Earth has the quality of a steady regular practice in yoga.
Walking through the labyrinth I realized I do have a steady practice
in apple planting. I guess I can do earth, if it's something entirely
self-determined. Even though I can tie myself in knots that would be
painful for most people because I lack the earthy quality of
resistance in my hips, psoas, and another muscle down there that I
hadn't even heard of.
