On Sunday I felt like could have held boat pose for hours; today I wobbled and teetered and couldn’t get my legs or back straight. And so it goes; the next time I try it, it will probably be better. I have to accept it, and try again soon (not later, but soon). When moving toward it, moving with it, and practicing it — whatever “it” is for us — we will also have days where we have to accept where we are with it and within our learning process, and try it again.
