Within The Altar That Is This Body..., by K., from 2/27/22

Within the altar that is this body resides a piece of the whole.

This piece of the whole is on a journey to love this body.

A journey to thank this body for staying strong despite some heavy blows.

A journey to embrace being in this body and enjoying the human experience.

A journey of unlearning all the ways this piece of the whole was told this is not a good body, 

A too big body,

You need to lose weight body,

A why can’t you look like the others body.

A journey of taking back the home this piece of the whole chose to reside in and take this crazy life ride in.

A journey this piece of the whole is learning to love being in this unique body,

Thanking it for taking this piece of the whole as far as it has to witness the beauty in this world.

Within the altar that is this body, 

Resides a piece of the whole

A magnificent soul

A soul that thanks this body for helping it grow,

To find its way back to the whole
