I came across a poem the other day and I just can’t get it outta’ my head, so I’ve decided to share it with you today. The words are by ~ Ganga White and the photos by yours truly, unless otherwise noted…
WHAT IF?
“What if our religion was each other
“If our practice was our life
“If prayer, our words.
“What if the temple was the earth
“If holy water – the rivers,
and oceans
“What if meditation was our relationships
“If the Teacher was life
“If wisdom was self-knowledge
“If love was the center of our being?”
Indeed – What if?
Lovely. Made my day. Thank you :-).

Ganga White is the author. He lives in Santa Barbara and runs Whitelotus.org, a yoga center. Yup, his words spoke to my heart too. If only…
