This morning I spoke kindly….
to my healing left knee….
Joints, pulled and danced by ligament and muscle,
move me forward into a life I have chosen ~ always ready to bend, straighten and flex the instant I command.
When the fear of incapacity
bleeds through my soul
disrupting the peace I have found
I become cautious and grateful.
So, though it may sound odd,
I will speak kindly to my body ~
she carries my mind, heart and soul
wherever I ask her to go.
“The body is our general medium for having a world.”
~ Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception
