and in the end
taking one final pose—
the archer
(This haiku is offered in the tradition of writing a farewell haiku for the poet’s final remembrance. The line drawing came from an exercise last week in art class: putting dots on paper, then connecting the dots slowly turning orientations of marker and paper, making one long continuous line. I looked, and there was The Archer.
“The Archer” is a stance taken in the practice of kundalini yoga, which I have practice more than 20 years. The Archer draws the bow, aims the arrow, and holds with breath-of-fire and one-pointed focus, one to fifteen minutes. This is a strong warrior pose. The entire body-mind-spirit is filled with full-blooded life.)
