Impending Rain

Such an odd sight
is the sky before the impending rain
the horizon
a fading slate grey
against the brightest granny smith sour apple green
the thick, full leaves
sway
a swishing sea of florescence
as the rain charges in
first
a splinter of dotted lines on my window
the air suddenly cools
and then comes the rush
a fury of swishing, swashing, blurrying
as all open spaces
are filled up
commanding its presence
until it is gone.

Cherry Blossom Yoga

Happy Easter everyone.

Yesterday I joined over 1000 Yoginis to practice on the National Mall in Washington DC.  It was a BYOM (bring you own mat) kind of morning, and one to be remembered. Thanks lululemon for hosting and giving back to the community in the unique way that you do.
