Today I shared in a beautiful gratitude practice to 33 amazing yogis at Aditi Yoga. Preparing for this class, I had a challenging time as I thought about gratitude. For me gratitude as long been associated with positive and optimistic thoughts. And this year, in the light of the political and cultural climate that we're in, I found myself struggling to touch into this energy of gratitude. As I sat with this, I realized that I needed to accept and welcome the vulnerability, darkness and fear I was experiencing, and that if I could, I could actually have gratitude for all the difficulties I was experiencing and seeing around me. Turning to embrace this I found the following poems that helped ignite and inspire me and I shared with our group today. Enjoy!

I was introduced to poet Danna Faulds by a near and dear yoga teacher friend of mine. The first time I heard one of poems, my soul sparked and my heart recognized the depth, sweetness and truth of her words. This weekend on retreat I shared two of my favorite poems of hers from her books Go In and In. May they inspire as much as they have inspired me.
