The following are the two poems I read in class to help us remember to be who we are on our yoga mats.
Just Be What You Are by Swamiji Drop all impatience Drop all frustrations; Just be what you are Just be what you are. There is no need for projection There is no need to create impression; Just be what you are Just be what you are. Stop this fighting with yourself Stop this struggle with yourself; Stop being sad with yourself Stop further hurting yourself; Just be what you are Just be what you are. You do not have to become something You do not have to achieve something; Just be what you are Just be what you are. Accept yourself as you are Love yourself as you are; Just be what you are Just be what you are. IF YOU FORGOT IT ALL- Dave Ursillo What if, today, you forgot it all? What freedom would you feel? What newness? What depths of experience might you discover? Everything? The air, smell it! A sky so blue, throw your hands into it. A face, that stranger, is it your One True Love? Embrace him! Kiss her. Don’t just fall in, leap!, hurl yourself into that love! Imagine if, today, you forgot it all. Would old habits become bold adventures? Might boring be a guise of mystery? The mundane, an invitation to wonder? What if, today, you renounced all that you knew?
