“GO WHERE MY BODY SAYS GO” by Melva Sue Priddy

my most recent mantra:
do what my body says do
go where my body says go
After years of listening to other bodies
I’m finally listening to mine first
If my body says yes it means yes
If my body says dig in the earth
rooting out wild violets and crabgrass
from the strawberries until I say enough
I obey. If my body says drink
cold water I drink cold water
If my body says watch
sound of music I watch sound
of music. I tolerate bad behavior
less and less & find more and more
of my body to trust. Motion and sweat
and music are the mirrors
my body leans into my body
trust mirrors trust
