The body is a vessel
More than tracks of blood,
Veins, arteries, nerves,
Bone on tendon,
Synovial and cartilage.
It is a vessel that
Forever is learning.
It is not stagnant ever.
It holds my breath
And takes my breath away.
It mobilizes me to action,
To thought, to dream, to create.
The body is a vessel for love.
I can receive and freely give it.
I can hold another’s torso
And their secrets.
I can laugh and cry.
I can release and let go.
I can hold and embody.
Mine can twist and take shape
Intertwine with my lover.
I can stretch and realize
My edges are further than I thought.
I can smile and accept
This body that is mine.

I share my stories honestly as an attempt to find meaning and connection. My intention is that by sharing our stories we ultimately heal ourselves and the world. I want to be a beacon of light to show that it is possible to find your footing and inner strength even when the world seems to be in chaos.
