poleisms
in learning to defy gravity i feel euphoric trying to move with an ease as soft as nostalgia requires gooey surrender & joyful focus
i now know that the greatest changes are just the sum of a thousand tiny incremental efforts - how could i, someone who had never done even a cartwheel, invert their legs over their head in mid-air? it’s because small, yet consistent acts of faith & persistence will undoubtedly yield the seemingly impossible.
it’s affirmed for me that i must abandon envy and comparison. after every practice, especially the bad ones, i seek at least one thing i’m grateful for, this act of gratitude & self love allows me to appreciate how far i’ve come even if it’s miles behind someone else — after all, we must forgo perfection, even momentarily, in order to progress.
my injuries have taught me how destructive eagerness & impatience can be, & underlined how important it is to move with reverence & humility a little revolution with every revolution
