Yoga Art

The other day a friend and I spent the afternoon drawing and painting. I enjoyed the simplicity of the moment, and a chance to create some new art.

I found myself coming back to the om sign and the lotus flower, both symbols I love.

The drawing above is of a yogi in scorpion pose, with an om.

I also wrote this little poem on one of the pages. 

over the water sound echoes, reverberating

back in muted tones, in color,

saffron and gold, peaceful

remembrance of what was once true:

beauty, silence, I raise my voz en paz.

this peaceful river flows on, through me,

breaking into the day. it is its own

promise, floating onward toward some unknown shore.
