Day 2: Earth
Resources for Tuesday 2nd of June:
‘The body is such a remarkable thing, it holds your life, the whole of your life is there from when you were a baby right through to old age and death, it’s all there in the structure, in the felt sense of the body, though for many of us it takes quite a lot of patience and tenderness to reconnect….’

Enough. These few words are enough.
If not these words, this breath.
If not this breath, this sitting here.
This opening to the life
we have refused
again and again
until now.
Until now.
