The most important work I will do this month is naming what I want. Where does my body want to be? How do I want to dress everyday? What work lights me up? What dream do I want to dream me into existence? I create the world in my likeness. This world is kind and patient. This world is not afraid of its shadow. This world knows silence and hungers for quiet moments when the secrets of the universe might reveal themselves. The world is my ally so I must also be my ally because I am the world. This world is alive. This world is bold colors and scented air. This world loves being the world. It shines, it shakes, it announces itself with every exhale and it breathes in the abundance of our prayers.
