The Cemented Position..

We spend our days...our LIVES really...
perpetuating the MYTH that we are actually ASPIRING to CHANGE...
to GROW...
We are the first ones in the YOGA STUDIO,
placing our mats QUIETLY, yet deliberately, on the floor...(crossing NO boundaries)
(mindful of others' PERSONAL SPACE) !
And for some ABSURD REASON, we actually tell ourselves that as a RESULT of our 'practice'...
   we will become: Better PEOPLE
                               Better WIVES
                               Better MOTHERS
                               Better FRIENDS
As I'm typing this, I'm chuckling at the RIDICULOUSNESS of this statement...
But make no mistake, my friends...
There are COUNTLESS people who do the aforementioned EVERY DAY,
believing sincerely that their souls will somehow ASCEND...ILLUMINATE even..
Granted, the body will look "KICK-ASS" after the Yoga...no question....
But the SOUL ???
Really ??
