I don’t even know you’re there
until I feel you.
that tightness.
tension that slowly captures
the sides of my eyes,
my jaw, my lips.
when I feel these, I
know you’re there.
I have no need to see you
with my eyes,
for you have already captured them.
my only response
to the feeling is to ask questions.
you are always so quick to answer.
your responses reveal the
growing concerns in my mind.
the rational mind, you say.
my heart says these thoughts,
concerns are not rational.
they are borne of fear
of the unknown,
fed by the known.
my heart says,
come home.
you are borne of love.
in returning home
the mind rests.
it has learned to trust
what the heart knows.
the eyes relax.
they trust the wisdom
of what they see when
they close.
the jaws relax.
they trust the wisdom
of a body – slowing down
to connect to its life force –
the breath.
the lips relax.
they trust the breath –
to come and go, rise and fall –
it’s inherent rhythm.
The wisdom of the heart
to be love,
to be trust,
to lead.
Beautiful

Thank you, Ali. I experienced the same as I re-read it after I put my pencil down. I felt it was an acknowledgement of the journey from the physical to the metaphysical. Sending love to you, too, my friend. 💟☮️

Thank you, Karen. The distractions can pull us away from our body wisdom, and taking that time to be still is so important. 💕
