Growing...a face plant

A crane, stork, phoenix, swallow, the Chinese huang have been receiving much attention from me lately, as I am seeking out the symbolism of a bird that can best represent the flight I am taking right now.  I want to express the time in my life as being bold and fleeting because as I have only been 'getting through life,' I want to live life and each moment feel free, as if I am taking flight and seeking out what is mine.

So, to the plant, or the 'face plant' rather.  I face planted on more than one occasion today (both literal and figurative).  Obsessed with Bikram Yoga and tried Vinyasa today.  Since I have done Yoga in the past, but not at a studio, the basic poses are no new thing to me, however, the more advanced balances/poses have me so hype, I'm willing to look ridiculous in order to accelerate to perfection.  How does a face plant and the talk of birds come to play?  Well, the pose I face planted on today was the 'crane' or Bakasana.  I blame it on the dripping sweat, not balance (just kidding...both?).

Falling in love is such a beautiful experience.
