The In-betweener


The in-between moments
this period as an essential juncture

A place to stop, look around
and notice

A place to live despite being
uncomfortable

The in-between moments
can be quite rewarding

When my aim is to
self observe

Not going the full distance
is a challenge in and of itself

Because it’s here, at the transition
where growth happens

Standing on my left leg
bare feet, toes gripping my yoga mat

Right hand holding my right foot
knee bent, not fully extended

Push and pull
the muscles prepare and I wait

Patiently noticing
sensations as they arise

The in-between moments
as a place to practice
