Take possession of your body

 

At the voice of Truth, your body
thrills in awareness, all its currents
apparent, transparent  - its unobstructed flow
coursing with power. You feel the solidness
of it - not as clay, but as imperative,
the joy of presence, unmovedness
of honesty, the certainty of what it is,
what it must be

Ask your body  - it will tell you
what you may have been trying
to assert. Give it credit,
and give it slack. And finally,
give it comfort, for it deserves to know
you will take care of it,
you have its back.
