Bodypsalm for Lifelines
“Hanging by a Thread” by Dobee Snowber
Follow the threads of your life
which announce joy
a deep resonance
for who you were meant to be
when every bone, tissue, cell and fibre
of your being
says YES all over again
to why you are here
what you are meant for
It can be simple as a gesture of love
or a glance at a falling leaf
or a pen to page
or limb to dance
Follow the small and large visions
placed in your heart
burning in your skin
the subtle impulses
and bold pulls of what you are called to
Let your deep gladness make friends
with the world’s ache
and never forget what calls you to joy
These are the lifelines
not the deadlines which seduce
but the lines which wait for you
as a patient lover
always hoping you will be drawn
back to the passion
of your dreams
Each thread is a line, a curve, a map
to your delicious life
that wants to be lived
through you.
