Stretched my aching, stiff body
into a limber piece of flesh.
Could sit up straight for a change.
What I took to be normal-
the effects of overworked,
sore muscles or even "aging"
was rectifiable in one short hour.
I felt joyful and subtly happy.
Wasn't sure--had to pinch myself.
Was this me? smiling, feeling up
and almost laughing at nothing to
laugh at? I was just bubbling over
with a kind of bliss that was let free
by some simple (5,000 year old)
movements of my limbs and body.
Meditation afterward was a trip to
heaven! More bliss and peace and
joy. Balance, ease, and strength.
I think I'll do this again tomorrow.
