Do you even take the time to acknowledge this body -
To appreciate all it does for you?
The countless tiny things
That keep you alive?
The inner vitality
The steady rhythm of your heartbeat
The inhale and exhale
That carries you through your life?
Can you find a way to tend to it with care?
To meet it with attention and reverence
To honour it?
Not as an after-thought
But as the sacred altar that it is?…..

But awaken compassion
May the pain I carry
The ache of loneliness
The voice of longing
Become a doorway to deeper connection…..

This quiet,
This emptiness
A grief I didn’t know
Would feel like an unmooring….

Scrolling through curated images
Comparing yourself

Whispering lies about worth
Hustle culture screaming
Just keep grinding…….

For someone to call me forward
To tell me I belonged
To hand me the certificate that said I was worthy enough
But no one came
And I got tired of standing in the hallway
Of my own life
Waiting to be named……

Touch your life
With reverence
With mindfulness
With care
Pause long enough
To feel this moment
Resting softly in your hands……..
Read MoreMay you know that you matter-
Not for what you do
Not for how the world sees you
But simply because you are mine
You matter in my heart
Beyond any words I can say
Beyond time, mistakes or distance
There is no version of this life
Where you’re existence isn’t a blessing…..
