You're a Warrior


A long time ago I posted this poem by my friend and sponsored yogi, Rich Krzyzanowski. I reread it today and was inspired to share it again.

Much love to my fellow yoga warriors!


Thoughts on Warrior Training
by Rich, a sponsored yogi

I am a peaceful warrior.
I journey further down that path every day.


Some days I am frightened.
Some, I am invincible.


I have no particular quarrels with you or anyone else.
My war rages within me.


I prepare not to do battle,
But rather to continue fighting.


Some days it is all I have.
Others, all I want.


My peace comes in moments of control, 
Packaged smaller than the blink of an eye.


I have found myself somewhere I've never been,
Never knew existed.


I put that place in a box for later.
I will  revisit that place when I am better prepared.


For now, I will finish my warrior training
And be on my peaceful way.
