In the deep kindness of asana
the flow of air
in
out
the gentle touch
of body and breath
entwined
and
dancing together
no one
lagging behind
no one
catching up

here the most loving posture
is you
quiet
awake
alone in the room
here there is only you
discovering yourself
like the first blossoms of laurel
in spring
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this unfolding movement
arms
hands
fingers
skin
hips
thighs
knees
feet
toes
oh!
more skin!
what lies beneath this?!

this is not a competitive sport
not with your neighbor
on the mat next door
- don't even try showing yourself up
there is no one here watching
and if
just if, there was
only love could wind its way through
the maze of limbs
and
this still breath
this quiet heart

    The nun Wu Jincang asked the Sixth Patriach Huineng, "I have studied the Mahaparinirvana sutra for many years, yet there are many areas i do not quite understand. Please enlighten me."

    The patriarch responded, "I am illiterate. Please read out the characters to me and perhaps I will be able to explain the meaning."

    Said the nun, "You cannot even recognize the characters. How are you able then to understand the meaning?"

    "Truth has nothing to do with words. Truth can be likened to the bright moon in the sky. Words, in this case, can be likened to a finger. The finger can point to the moon’s location. However, the finger is not the moon. To look at the moon, it is necessary to gaze beyond the finger, right?"
