Guest guest Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 The Question That Is... To Be...Or Not to Be A perfect little Yogini Oh Swamiji I listened to ye Now, look at me... I walk into the yoga class There's nothing worse than being last..AND it's my first Especially when you are new And everyone turns to look at you The teacher stands so straight and tall It takes no effort for her at all But then she looks only 23 Barely half as old as me Now, put your hands down to your toes And while you are at it, Touch your nose Find the ground??? I think...Oh, Please!!! I can barely reach my knees Wrap my feet around my neck? Is she nuts, I think Oh, what the heck I try... I try I really do I just can't do the things you do Oh my, I think I'll never make it I don't think that I can take it And then she says Let's take our heads And put them on some nail beds After that the world goes splat!!! Let's relax now On the beach Be quiet, you, we'll have no squeaks Well, don't you tell ME, Young Lady Yogi How to Surrender to All that Be I've been told by One who Knows That I Surrender... Beautifully!!! There is no beach Inside my head Hear this, oh young one...I am dead Oh Swamiji Please reprieve me Or you will double/triple kill me Well, little Joyce Says my Voice Are you humbled yet??? Oh you bet I say I surely am on the way But this I have to say again...Oh Swamiji Please reprieve me He looks at me with his siddhi eyes It begins with the body He says...I sigh But then I say the words I find Yes, Swamiji, but it ends with the mind. There is a happy ending To my story All in God's glory :-) Swamiji decides it's OK for Lady Joyce to walk instead After all, her head is dead So if she's going To keep the beat Joyce will have to use her feet To walk In Homage To All That Is!!! If you weren't a Swami, I'd give you a hug and a kiss Almost dead... my Voice, you say? OK, I have a long way to go...you spoil sport But Still the Holy Destination...My Heart, Is where It Ends And where It Starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2003 Report Share Posted February 20, 2003 Dear Al: My wireless mouse is running wild : ) Beautiful, To Be Or Not To Be :-) Thank you for your sweet thoughts, Al. As a followup to my post, I want to say to all of those who actively practice and /or teach any physical type of yoga, that I have the greatest respect for them, and for physical yoga as one of the many paths to All That Is, in All of us. However, there are some of us who, for whatever reason, find another way or ways which work better for us. My little poem was written and posted in the spirit of letting those of us who cannot reach our knees off the hook!!! To those of you who can reach your toes without falling down in the process, my hat is off to you... LOL, Joyce To be, or not to be: that is the question:Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
