I woke away from home before the sun,
and though most Saturdays I will omit
the mat, preferring talk and iPad fun
with bouncing kids, last week I did commit
to 7 days of Prana. I could wait
for guided breathing till the afternoon,
but better early ended my debate,
and coffee-less I stretched a little soon.

The almost 8-year old arrived before
I finished 20 minutes, but he chose
to quietly observe, asquat, and more –
he joined me on the floor in final pose.
His whispered “namaste” produced a hug,
and wrapped us in affection on the rug.
