This is my favorite pose because it
closes my spine and makes me
drift way. (the full version of this is
to hug the legs.) it is the best part of
the sequence for me, yet it is
nseparable from the rest because it
acquires its quality, or effect (on
me), only when it follows the rest
of the poses in order. in other
words, it’s my favorite but i cannot
shortcut my way to it, it isn’t the
same — i don’t get to this place
until i see the other places that the
other poses bring me to. and when
I get here, this pose infinitely slows
me down — eases me into a dreamy
wave of warm cascading waters. it’s
like… a ride in the country; or a
swim in the lake, on a sunny day…
like reclining on the bough of my
favorite childhood guava tree. i stay
here until i sense that the day is
changing,
or has changed
or the building
is about
to close.

and this is what i did a little after dawn
today (well, it was preceded by dozens
poses), until early morning, before work …
What’s your favorite pose?
