I took pride in how hard the stone wall around my heart was. I thought that was made me so strong. Every stone righteously placed there to protect my aching heart.
Victory, I was numb.
But it wasn’t a life worth living.
Each time on the mat I allow the stones to fall and crumble and my heart to open. Sometimes a flood opens and sometimes a tiny crack.
True victory as my heart is open, it feels, it’s vulnerable and brave, courageous . My heart is alive and now I practice the surrender and releasing those stones.
These moments captured Justin Wright taken at the backyard community yoga space called It Takes a Village in Walnut Creek. A place to practice releasing those stones and opening the heart. In gratitude.
