Could it be as simple as a stretch?
S'pose it might be...
(Isn't it cool that even my student's dogs experience the benefit of their human receiving yoga instruction! Witness the above "down dog." Total excellence.)
It's only taken me ten years...um, do I mean lifetimes?
But anyway, I feel ready to take a fresh look at my resources and to start dreaming and doing in a way that is different for me, and a bit more outward regarding. I previously thought that the problem was me, almost as if I was a problem... This is centered in child-thinking where the child internalizes whatever happens as being their fault. The old solution was to focus in on myself to try to eradicate the problem... As you can imagine this may have caused a problem for myself. But along the way I also have learned so much about myself, so making myself the enemy was not without benefit.
I am confident today and trust myself in radically new ways, and well, we'll see... Could it be as simple as reaching beyond the old ways, like a stretch to release an old stiffness? I understand that I am not the enemy, and nobody is. The prognosis (I give myself regarding the "stuckness") seems good.
And if this seems like a totally cryptic post, well: it is... A somewhat abstract wondering...
Yours truly,

...noting, of course, that the dog isn't technically, facing downward and his/her butt's going way back behind the feet--that's real dog pose. I've tried it, but can't get my hands anywhere near the floor. I'll probably never be as enlightened as that dog, either.
Anyway, I think the key is to move beyond reaching beyond old ways mentally without springing backwards, so that it the reaching actually manifests in consistent action...or something....
