Ok.  so this, in fact, is not me.  besides the fact that i'm a chick and he's a dude - there is also a vast difference in our execution of the jump back in ashtanga.  his are flawless and mine are . . . not.

a few years ago, i'd have looked at this video and said to myself, that'll never be me.  with arms shorter than most and a slightly larger posterior - its simply not a possibility.  nope.  not me.  no way.  no how.

but by now i know better.  you see, i've uttered the word *never* before.  i protested drop-backs, handstands, zip-lines, grad school, and incidentally - love.

all of which i've realized.  though some took me longer than others

the truth of the matter is - i have no idea what i'm capable of.  i have no idea what i will discover and when i will discover it.  and i can't even begin to imagine what is possible given time and practice.  

i've underestimated my potential far too many times - only to find myself gladly mistaken.

so while the video above is clearly not me.  today. 

it might be.  it could be.

tomorrow.
