Hospitality

"Here in this body are the sacred rivers: here are the sun and moon as well as all the pilgrimage places....I have not encountered another temple as blissful as my own body." Saraha


Body Hospitality

Come in and sit down for a while,
I welcome you inside myself, my body accommodates your presence.
I welcome you, yes, you the Unknown...

Unknown territory that has come to say hello to chat for a while,
your unfamiliar way of being leaving me breathless.

I listen to you speak and I give you the space to be yourself, knowing that in acknowledging who you are I also give myself permission to be myself....

My body claims and reclaims its primal genuineness, as I hear my soul whisper in the night the faithfulness of my life story. The flow of my unspoken words travel through my veins, creating dreams that reveal the deepest sense of my existence, leaving watercolour paintings imprinted on my soul.

For my body knows the depth of my reality....within its fibres it contains the solitude of my heart and the truth of my existence....

Unknown territory, a guest in my house, you beckon me to listen to the gentle murmuring of my soul.
