Dear Body

I love you! I am sorry for telling you so many lies about you. I reduced you and used words with you I would never use with others. I told myself stories about you that were not true and did not honour how scared you are.

I’m sorry for the ways I have neglected and ignored you. You have sent me so many signals and messages that I didn’t listen to. I covered up your voice with distractions, until I silenced you.

I’m sorry I’ve kept you stuck and small when you wanted to expand, and be free. I am sorry for blaming you for holding me back and believing what other people said about you.

Thank you for the countless functions you preform to keep me a live. Thank you for carrying my child. Thank you for helping me move, together we have travelled the world. Thank you for teaching me to care for myself and what it means to rest, be present and still.

I love you for showing up for me and being my home. I love you for the miracle that you are. I love you for the ways you let me experience life. Through adventure, through taste and smell and sound. Without you, I wouldn’t know joy. Without you I would not be alive.
