Inner Sunshine

It has been a long month of working long nights, getting colds, getting better only to relapse, and seeing very little of the sun.

Today I worked all the way through Yogananda's energy exercises, about a fifteen minute routine of breathing, muscle isolating movements, and visualization.  I could feel layers of winter crud sloughing off, and a bright warm fire building up in my core.

By the end I found a depth in my breath I had been sorely missing.

Sometimes it's best to make your own sunshine.
