Tenderness Toward the Body That Held It All

17 min

Your body has quietly carried years of sensation: held breaths, tightened jaws, heavy news, relief and joy. Nothing needs to be named, released or fixed; attention simply turns towards the inner places that have kept it all. A warm hand, an unforced breath and patient company offer tenderness to the body exactly as it is.
