"Water finds the path of least resistance. It flows. You never see square turns on a river. There’s always a curvature. I think life’s like that, too. It has a natural curve, an arc. I think it’s our job to trust in that…I’m grateful for the twists and turns of fate that have brought me here."

Last night my yoga instructor closed our practice with those words.
Through the silence they reached deep into me & took the breathe from my chest for a moment.
In the next, I caught it and the tears that were pooling behind my eyelids.
Gratitude. Always have gratitude.
