I Have a Confession

i have a confession 

i don’t feel magical

i don’t feel connected to “source”

and i’m sitting here trying to be a guide. 

 

i feel connected to this fuckin’ MESS.

 

i feel connected to this excess belly fat

i feel connected to my fear of not being able to make my clients feel better right now

i feel connected to my shame of not keeping the house tidier while we’re cooped up here 

i feel connected to the softness of my duvet cover

i feel connected to Governor Cuomo, who just decreed that bars in New York are allowed to serve drinks to-go during the lockdown 

(okay, so i’m maybe still connected to my sense of humor)

i feel connected to the flowers blooming on the tree across the street

i feel connected to my impulse to numb out sometimes 

i feel connected to my ability to  s l o w  down a moment if I need to

i feel connected.
