キノ・マクレガ―のインスタグラム(kinoyoga) - 4月22日 08時19分

I’ve been sad all day. A mixture of exhaustion and grief set in and I’m just leaning in to it, allowing it surround me like a cloud. I’m crying every tear and letting them all flow like a river through past, present and future. There’s nothing really wrong except that suffering which pervades all material existence. I’m not anxious or worried. It’s just that the fleeting ephemerality of life amidst its twists and turns has me pensive, quiet, and introverted.

I feel a calling to go on another journey of the soul. It’s like I don’t know what the next chapter will exactly be, but I get the feeling that it will all come from a totally new place. In a sunset like this my soul dreams of a song like a lullaby. My heart whispers a harmony that takes me back to the beginning and into the future at the same time. Peace is always there under even the most turbulent times.

I’ve started off on one path with one intention so many times only to be diverted along the way. The destination changed, I veered off course. Sometimes I took the road traveled by everyone, but more often I was there on the path alone, on that road less traveled, with few true friends.

I don’t think yoga means that you never feel sadness, depression, anger or other dark emotions. I think it means you learn how to face them, make friends with them and disarm them when those old feelings arrive. If you’re not ok with your own pain, like if you can’t sit with your own shadows without repressing them or trying to fix them, then you won’t be able to sit with an open heart and hold space for someone else to be in pain. True compassion is suffering with and requires a willingness to let someone else’s pain into your heart.

If I look back now I can see that it’s the periods someone would label as depressed during which I grew the most. Growth isn’t usually comfortable. Growth happens on the edge of your limits. You can choose whether you’re strong enough to ride those edges with grace or not. Today I choose strength. But it may not look like strength to anyone from the outside looking in.
