See Your Self: 2021 By: Jonathan Pofsky, MFT It’s these times that we reflect What’s been left up on the shelf Time to dust off what’s of value So you can see your Self   A Self leads the way Of its many disparate parts That runs in as many ways With their distinct wisdom and smarts   It’s hard to get the message For with these parts we blend Threatening parts we just ignore What kind of message does that send   For parts are forced to exile To live underground asleep Where they exist in darkness Until they begin to weep   Waiting for our attention To get curious as to why ..read more

As published in Yoga Magazine, February 2011 Life is hard. I hear that a lot and more often than not, I agree.
