In The End, Poem, Tara Sophia Mohr, Yoga

Dawn on the bay

Can you remember the last time you read a poem? When I heard this I realised it’s been too long. My yoga teacher shared this during savasana (corpse pose; the relax-at-the-end-bit of yoga practice) today and it so moved me:

In the end
you won’t be known
for the things you did,
or what you built,
or what you said.
 
You won’t even be known
for the love given
or the hearts saved,
 
because in the end you won’t be known.
 
You won’t be asked, by a vast creator full of light:
What did you do to be known?
 
You will be asked: Did you know it,
this place, this journey?
 
What there is to know can’t be written.
Something between the crispness of air
and the glint in her eye
and the texture of the orange peel.
 
What you’ll want a thousand years from now is this:
a memory that beats like a heart–
a travel memory, of what it was to walk here,
alive and warm and textured within.
 
Sweet brightness, aliveness, take-me-now-ness that is life.
 
You are here to pay attention. That is enough.

– Tara Sophia Mohr

This book and this woman... #bodyimagewarrior was a special book from the get go, and @chelseabonner is such a tour de force, championing change in the way we portray women’s bodies in the media. So thrilled to see Chelsea out and about promoting it this week, despite being hospitalised just last Friday - she really is a warrior goddess 🙌🏻 #chelseabonner #murdochbooks @murdochbooks
