Again, a reminder the body is a temple. Being a physical theater artist I have demanded much of this temple. I have jumped off of, climbed up on and hurled myself through so many obstacles. Like life. And much like the “heart…in the cathedral of the ribs” I marvel at the fact that this 56 year old body still moves and grooves. Certainly not in the same way but the body is a wonder. Can take so much and still the vibrancy of life hums through it. I am so grateful for this body.
I love the idea of walking around and celebrating the eyes. Taking in all there is to be grateful for. And, the positive trajectory – once the poet learns the eyes are improving – hey – maybe everything else can, too.
Celebrating what is seemingly a small victory and yet with such big impact. Beautiful.

Time in reflection, a good cup of tea, connecting with friends more often, a church that is focused on social justice and knowing in my heart that love prevails.

I am blessed with a new job. I now work for an organization focused on providing opportunities for people with a wide range of abilities the opportunity to live the best life they want to live. It is humbling and so inspiring. I am learning and sharing what I know which is my happy place.

Not to say I am not concerned about the political climate in my country (United States). We have so much work to do here. And, it is opportunities like this (I am new to this group) that help me clear space for Grace which gives me the courage to fight for Justice. So grateful to have been sent an email from a friend connecting me to this group. Namaste.
