“Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, neem, and eucalyptus. Sweeten with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and drink it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Stand strong with your bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes from it. Be smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember...you are the medicine.”

One day when you wake up,
you will find that you've become a forest.
You've grown roots and found strength in them
that no one thought you had.
You have become stronger and more beautiful,
full of life giving qualities.
You have learned to take all the negativity around you,
and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing.
A host of wild creatures live inside you,
and you call them stories.
A variety of beautiful birds nest inside your mind,
and you call them memories.
You have become an incredible self sustaining thing of epic proportions.
And you should be so proud of yourself,
of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.

The Cure For It All

Go gently today, don’t hurry
or think about the next thing. Walk
with the quiet trees, can you believe
how brave they are—how kind? Model your life
after theirs. Blow kisses
at yourself in the mirror

especially when
you think you’ve messed up. Forgive
yourself for not meeting your unreasonable
expectations.

Praise fresh air
clean water, good dogs. Spin
something from joy. Open
a window, even if
it’s cold outside. Sit. Close
your eyes. Breathe. Allow

the river of it all to pulse
through eyelashes
fingertips, bare toes. Breathe in
breathe out. Breathe until

you feel your bigness,
until the sun rises in your veins.

Breathe until you stop needing anything to be different.

She Danced

she danced for the love she felt
the love she gave away
and the love she kept

she danced to free her spirit
and to free other spirits too
she danced in response to joy
and to process pain
she moved her body
like her life depended on it
praying for love to come,
for sadness to go

she danced for all the people
who can’t dance for themselves
she also taught others to dance
for justice, for truth, for possibility
for healing the broken-hearted
she danced to break the ties that bind
our women ~ our mothers
to bring awareness and healing

she danced to break open the hearts of
our men ~ our fathers
to bring truth and compassion
to invite friendship and art
into the open spaces
that the dance created
she danced
to keep the flame of true love burning

she danced when she was too tired to walk
she danced between the worlds

she danced because a celebration
calls for dancing
the twirl of skirts the rhythm of feet
the snapping and clapping,
the exultant inhale and exhale

she danced with lovers, she danced with friends
she danced alone too because some nights
we all dance alone and because sometimes
dancing is all that can be done

she danced for the artists and musicians
and scientists and alchemists and midwives
and physicians and housewives and gas stationers
and waitresses and for all who work
too too hard, for too too little

she danced for all the creators of invention
and those whose gift is just: To BE.
she danced to dislodge the caught gifts
struggling to get free in each of us

she danced for the living and for the dead
in birth and in mourning
for peace, beauty and creative expression
she danced our prayers all the way to GOD
which isn’t so very far after all…
