The Practice

I grasp the purple edge of the yoga mat

recognize the familiar texture

inhale the institutional smell

One practiced motion issues forth the unfurled essence,

my island of focus

of meditation

of peace.

On this lavender oasis,

sanctuary for introspection

vessel of reverence

in soul-to-sole sun salutations

I set my solitary Intention

Today’s Prompt: Unfolded
