Even on Easter, when God has his own big thing to celebrate today, he continues to care enough about my meager life and place yet another piece of his current theme for my days in my path. So far he's spoken to me on the topic of not giving up through books, music, meditation, and my own yoga practice over the past few weeks. Today I learn that "taking a knee" does not mean weakness or a sign of giving up.
I subscribe to a great blog called My Bikram Yoga life. This morning I got the email announcing a new post. The post actually dealt with "doing a double" (taking two classes in one day). The post was good, but it's words were not what spoke to me. Way down on the bottom there was a link to another yoga blog and the post title was "Sitting Down In Bikram Yoga: What it says about you."
My first thought was "It says I give up easily. It means I'm not tough enough." Then, of course, I read the post. In it, the very insightful author taught me about being brave, respectful, connected, and humble – all hidden in "taking a knee". You don't have to be a yoga enthusiast to embrace these concepts. I have included the link below so you, too, can see that "sitting down" for a bit is not in any way an indication of weakness or giving up – both in and out of the studio.
And so, as another Easter Sunday goes by, I find it fitting to "be brought to my knees" on this day, and ….I have written.
