Bodypsalm to Dare to Create
Artwork (Transitions I) by Dobee Snowber
Write what you dare not write
create what you dare not create
places hidden in your bones
where longing and aches reside
your dreams long to arrive
to be massaged to birth
Throw your critic out
let it reach into the recycling bin
where it transforms to compost
for the wonder of your own stories
honour your tears, joys and disappointments
only mourn for not showing up
for your deep truth and beauty
where health and wholeness
celebrate each thread of life
Listen to the impulses of your fingers
agitation in your feet
spread wide your toes
to touch ground and sky
the garment of your own yearning
This is yoga toes for writing
living, breathing into the unknown
Let your discomfort
be a sign that you are going
where you have not gone –
an all inclusive to what is possible
Show compassion towards yourself
fall free to the winter
of your own passage
know you are called
to only be real to whom you are
This alone is enough.
