Before one meet in high school I waited
during warmups until the crowd was watching me, then took
off for the
mat, tripped
on the edge of it, broke my toe
and fell
on my face.
«
During the class, we're working hard
on figuring out our own ticks, tendencies,
and inner - work; but as we end the class,
and before we go
on with our day facing the rest of the world doing the «out - work» the namaste is like a baton pass to take what you've learned
on the
mat with you
off the
mat to share.»
