Bodypsalm for Re-Knitting a Life
You are being re-knitted from the inside out
the beauty of the threads within you
are invisible yet are luminescent
to the art of a soulful life
Honor all the textures of your years
the memories, losses, joys, forgotten secrets
which have shaped your innermost being
each color, hue and thread is knitted into your story
and formed the uniqueness of you
In this (w)holy place
there is an aesthetic of randomness
borne through the living place of creation
each child in the universe
is woven into the fabric of the larger story
the story whose name is
rewritten to
the place where we are known
and know
Embrace your doubts
as you do knots in the fabric
Caress your losses
as openings to honor the depths
Re-Knit your life
to the landscape of cherishing
each fragment you live through
this is the material for sweetness
your body-spirit made visible
in all the ways you honor
the fibers of the collective
story we knit together
into wonder.
