Mount Agung. You can see her, on the horizon. She was draped in layers of cloud and haze, in a luminous Dali sky where multiple vortices seemed equally drawn in by her power. I was so tired, I sat and rested before sky show and watched the sun set over the sacred Bali volcano. Pete joined later and we made plans under the stars. So much beauty. Words are never enough 🙏✨❤️ #valentinesday2018 #love #gratitude #thislife #mystery #earth #gililife #giliair #islandlife #stars #sunsets #flowersandfire

How do you find your way back in? How do you come back to yourself when the veils have fallen and clear sight feels far away? Inspired by a dear friend and an achy morning that wrote this poem, a blog also found its way through. It’s been a while. ✨Link in profile✨ . . . Still, sometimes, there are mornings where that old distant shadow hangs a loose lace, old and fragile, yellowed and stained, like my mothers nicotine walls. It suffocates my deeper knowing, rivering freely below. A heavy widow’s cloak blocks out the light and that part of me that always knows this new day is already complete. But I am sleeping And the edges of not enough are sharp and ragged. Lodged in old grooves, achy wheels get stuck, carrying this ghost of uncertainty so she can sit lightly on my chest, almost imperceptible, her heavy layers tremble with short breaths until I let her pass through. 📸@iamelizabethcurtis . . #meditation #presence #lost #found #flow #yoga #blog #poetry #mindfulness

If I could slow down, I would see more of you. Have more time to muse at your intimate details. Spread the minutes out over days to sink into all your shades and ripples. The inner trembles and trickles. A quick and sudden surge of joy. I’d notice more of those precious movements. The light dances on the water and I can’t pull myself away so I sit inside the silent and still, watching her endless, rivering flow #mesmerising #flow #slowdown #seemore #feelmore #meditation #mindfulness #yoga

I suppose it’ll do. The lookout from our last island hideaway in Koh Phangan. It was a ramshackle concrete shell with a low slung hammock and shutters that opened wide to that view. The ocean right by our side, as we slept. And the sky. Oh the sky. There was something criminal about missing a sunrise. Rolling out of bed and falling into the bottomless stillness of that perfect, fleeting transition. That sweet lull where the sacred dimension of life is in clear sight. You and that wild, molten star, born of the same exquisite atomic intelligence. Born of the same cosmic event. Born of light and fire, reflecting life back to itself in pockets of precious remembrance #dawn #transitions #sunrise #kohphangan #islandlife #yogainspiration #yoga #reflections
