Our strength is not in our bodies
But in the quality of connection with our soul
In the quiet times when we allow ourselves,
The moments which take our breath away with fear
And a longing to be anywhere but where we are in that moment,
Those alone times when the voice is louder than any other
The most feared voice of all – the one which loves us most,
And with its great love, the words may also gently reprimand
Or hold the mirror in place a bit too long for comfort,
Yet even this is kinder than the ways in which we speak to ourselves,
These words, though sometimes harsh,
Invite us to opening, to healing
For our tender, guarded hearts
