Four Corners

I've gathered together like four corners to a

Tapestry such beautiful remnants of a life and brought them gracefully in the middle where each end meets - one corner the woven green and ambient yellow and wooden masks and stew and laughing at yourself and making them proud- my family my

Home my pride. Another corner the arms of Ganesha rubbing a belly and twisting the spine and barefeet on the earth and iguana grounding cord and green pastured heart. My yoga my practice.

Another corner the woman of the world gather the smoke clears and Spanish is tangled in the long black hair of peru and the cobblestone and the workbooks and the journey- Visionaria my work my path.

Another corner the dark of lonely and water in the ears and the dreams of strangers. Here things are too tight around the neck and every bite blooms in bruise. My darkness.

I fold them together in the center and what a beautiful bounty I am. 

Altar

One of the powerful lessons I've gotten on this journey. Be selfish and ask the universe for exactly what you need to be your highest Self. Set your table as an altar, pile it with what really feeds your soul, and dig in with your fingers. Eat it raw. Taste it on your tongue. Gulp down what fills you. Spit out the rest. Don't apologize for nourishing your Self. CLAIM YOUR SACRED SPACE.
