Dear BODY

My body and I had a chat today

When I paused briefly

To look at her nakedness just as I got in the shower

A little rounder

A little softer for sure

Lines, bumps, curves and colours

Familiar shapes, some only barely now

What do you need today? I asked

More water?

Some exercise?

A lymph drainage massage?

I know! How about a green juice detox?

Acceptance, she replied

Admiration

Appreciation

Love

Understanding

Deeper Connection

Touch

…isn’t that what we ALL want?
