 May you recognize in your life the presence,
power, and light of your soul.
May you realize that you are never alone,
that your soul in its brightness and belonging
connects you intimately with the rhythm of
the universe.
May you have respect for your individuality
and difference.
May you realize that the shape of your soul is unique,
that you have a special destiny here,
that behind the façade of your life,
there is something beautiful and eternal happening.

JOHN O'DONOHUE
Excerpt from the blessing, 'For Solitude'

Wishing you a day of unique adventures within and without.
I love this poem by John O'Donohue reminding us to have respect for our individual differences.
May we all journey within the forest of our being with tenderness; acknowledge, befriend, accept our own uniqueness, authentic self, our essential self. I spotted this beautiful tree while walking a coastal trail in May; each limb with it's own particular shape, as if she were posing for a moment in the midst of a dance; maybe a dance of joy, serenity and peace. She may not be one of the most beautiful trees in the world, e.g., the Chandelier Tree or the El Tule Tree, but she had a uniqueness about her that captured my heart.   
My teacher, Tias Little reminds us that each cell in our body has a different personality; that each of us are born with our own signature shape. I share this wisdom often when teaching and absorb in my daily life and in my yoga practice. We are each one born with our own unique individual selves within and without.
  In breath,
