When was your 'moment of revival'?

It was just a series of events that led me to the path of Yoga Teacher Training, a tragic health issue, corporate politics, lack of empathy in the people around me and just the numbing sensation that steadily grows when day in and day out you just exist and not really live.

After just a few sessions, I felt like I had found my tribe, and possibly one more profession.

I was laying in the park looking up at the beautiful sky (side-note: there's just something in the vastness of the sky that gets me - I somehow do not feel that way about the ocean...) after my evening practice and just taking in the sights, sounds and smells when inspiration struck and I penned these lines with a feeling of gratitude and serenity.

Up at the azure infinity, I gaze

So long have I waited, for a rousing spark

This might be it, mi nueva vida

It’s a time for new beginnings, a new start

I lay on velvety emerald earth in spring

A wild flower tickles, swaying with the breeze

One breath of that pure and crisp air

Gives my worries an instant release.

Picking up grub for her twittering hatchlings

A silky red bird, merrily hopping by

So enthused I feel for those fresh souls

I just have to let out a happy sigh

On my nose it lands, a buzzing bumble bee

There it goes, an unexpected sneeze

He hovers over me, a tad moodily

Before taking off with the breeze

Up at the azure infinity, again I gaze

I hear drums, tambourines and guitars

I see clouds dancing to the beat of my heart

My spark ignited, here my new beginning starts
