Patricia Louise Gray

Yoga is poetry to me, stretching and sweating rigid spots in my mind and body into malleable spaces and shapes.  Yoga teaches me to slow down and take notice of my breath, my thoughts and what’s underneath.  Yoga is an art form that teaches me to live more openly and with elasticity.

Poetry is yoga to me, stretching and sweating out my wounds and prayers in words that wash me clean.  Reading or writing a poem makes me slow down and take notice of undertones and nuances beneath the obvious.  Poetry is an art of stretching words around ideas that seduce me to stay nimble and alive.
