Working Together With Your Body

Is your body not doing what you want?

Then remember:

It is your own finest companion,

Friend, not enemy.

Even though it may feel that way sometimes.

It is just as much a part of you,

Without you being only your body.

Your body is simply trying to function

As best as it can.

It gives you signals

About what you do or don't need.

And where your boundaries are.

It only wants

To be felt & heard,

The pleasant and the painful.

It only wants

To work together with you

In love & trust.
