Vulnerability
How vulnerable I was —
to leave the corporate world for yoga,
fearing I wouldn’t be welcomed
for what I left behind, or what I wasn’t yet.
How vulnerable I was —
to let anonymous ratings shape my worth,
fearing I couldn’t be myself
in a sea of unseen opinions.
How vulnerable I am —
to not be a “great” yogi,
fearing that my body’s limits
define my spirit’s growth.
How vulnerable I am —
to not make enough to stay afloat,
fearing failure more than I admit.
And still —
how vulnerable I am
to be brave enough to face it all,
to meet fear and hope
as daily companions on this path.
How vulnerable my journey has been —
and yet, hope continues,
quietly rising
despite fear.
