Bodypsalm for the place of in-between
you live in the place
where you are home
and not at home – in this world
and not of this world. This is the state of
being human, for we come from somewhere,
we live in the where, and we don’t know
where we are going
we are in the state of travelling
the province of traversing,
whether you step on a plane
or go on a trip, our lives are a continual
trip from one point to another
and this is not pointless
for it is the place of in-between
where the ripeness lies
the heart lies open to be discovered
over and over again
peeled back as the fresh apple
you are being called to be peeled back
be under the skin and let the skin off
and celebrate the spaces in your life
where you are caught in between
between health and unhealthy
between singleness and coupledom
between employment and unemployment
between peace and hesitation
it is all the journey
and this is what we were made for
we are constantly wanting to arrive
yet arrival happened as soon as
you departed from your mother’s womb
and you have also been departing
since you arrived
therefore:
embrace the trip of your own
exquisite life, as only you know.
