you ever get so close to something you want  . . . its right there . . . you've moved past your *growing edge* and standing at the knife's edge instead.  its just that close.

and yet.  so far.

its all in my mind  - that's what my very patient and tenacious ashtanga teacher tells me.

either way, i'll keep at it.  because one thing i know for sure, and that's practice makes *progress*!
