I wrote 'steadiness and ease' in my journal in Rishikesh. Running showed me I'd misunderstood the order.

Ease comes after steadiness, not alongside it. The race showed me.

What has living taught you that studying couldn't?

The alarm was five-thirty. The river path was slick with frost. Luna had the pillow.

Every logical argument was against going out. I went anyway.

What kept you going when everything was telling you to stop?

I didn't know how to truly rest until I ran twenty-one kilometers.

My body always had something to protect. The race was the first time it didn't.

Has effort ever opened something that rest alone couldn't reach?

The hard kilometers make savasana real. And savasana makes the hard kilometers worth it.

Effort and ease aren't opposites, they're partners in a long and patient conversation.

When has effort made space for deeper rest?

I practiced yoga for four years. I thought I knew savasana. I was good at lying down.

There's a difference between rest and performing rest, I didn't know it.

When did you realize you'd been performing rest, not feeling it?
