“When the sirens cried out... we jumped to our feet and scurried to the deep caves to hide like wild animals. But you can’t stay in the dark for so long. Something inside of you starts to fade and you become like a starving person, crazy-hungry for light.”

Excerpt From: Tan, Amy. “The Joy Luck Club.”

I did a walk and talk the other day with a dear friend. I love this idea...a "walk and talk." It's fun. You are moving. If you suffer any social anxiety you may find this way of chatting much less tiring and less anxiety provoking than sitting face to face. 👍🏽✌🏾

Anyway, during our convo we talked about gaining awareness and the process of "waking up" in life. And how, as you wake up, you start to see bits of wisdom everywhere.

The quote above from the JLC is an example. Maybe it's just me, but I can relate to those words. Years of being unsure of myself, easily triggered and a having a tendency to hide...I know the feeling of crouching in the dark corners after a fright, my life essence starting to fade away and yet desperately hungry for the light.

I found a way out of that cave. Through yoga, clear seeing, trust, love and gratitude. 🙏🏽🕉💗
