A Warning on Yawning
The call of the wild from the
wildebeest to the squirrel; it’s the call of the wild, some innate vibrating
volcanic eruption. A retching surge of absolute calm that engulfs you -- yet
frees you instantly from all obtrusive interferences because you are living in
the moment.
My call of the wild is a
collaboration of a yawn and a yell. In
that wonderful experience called a yawn, think of all those solitary moments –
that all-inclusive taking in of air it is as if one could inhale so much that
one could bring walls, ceilings and floors to one’s lips.
Yawns - sometimes in desperation,
sometimes in ecstasy, sometimes just part of a days passing; sometimes for no
reason at all, but just to yawn.
But, when I’m alone and usually
with no conscious effort at play; but more of a personal enjoyment I separate
and include my reality by letting go of it and I just inhale – as if it were
my only purpose, just inhale as if for the last time.
Inhale as if it were my first, inhale with gusto with no other reason
other than to inhale all of the air.
Letting go of every face, neck,
shoulder, chest and back muscles until they all give up and collapse to solely
take on the task in achieving the ultimate yawn.
I think the yawn might have been a gift from the gods, done in jest,
knowing the types of characters these gods could be.
A yawn is a moment that if you
truly take it you’re vulnerable for mere seconds, yet your whole body, your
whole being is convulsing – it’s orgasmic – and I don’t mean that in a
bad way. If you’re honest with
yourself and free enough within and have the understanding and ability to let
yourself just let go and inhale – my God –
But that’s only the half of it.
It’s the exhale that completes
the yawn.
It’s simply masterful, it’s
almost an Eastern philosophy; it’s a pure state of freedom.
The exhale examines all of our
limitations, our fears, all our unrequited loves, our doubts, unfulfilled dreams
and aspirations; simply all our inhibitions.
But as I said earlier, well, in
truth, I allow myself this pleasure with my life partner just within earshot of
my howl.
It’s a remnant of my childhood,
designed to resonate - to express my “inner me” to give - a call to the
wild, a universal scream, a collective yell from all that’s life and living.
To exhale all the negative, all
the sense of loss and doubt – just exhale it all – every bit of it, ‘till
there’s none left to give.
In it’s completion one achieves, what the French call ”demi morta” or little death.
And yet only in life proceeded and
finished with a new breath of life and so on and so forth.
But in my shared solitude upon
completion of my ultimate intake of air, I become one with nature, one with the
universe and I exhale in total free abandonment.
And I say to myself, this feels better than good, this feels great.
This simple pleasure we call a yawn is so much more if one is up to it,
if one is willing to allow.
But don’t try this home alone
without first consulting your primary physician, he’ll probably reserve the
right to suggest an alternative treatment and perhaps even write you a script.
Sigh…oh, just yawn.
