the subtle body


only you
can hold
the subtleties
that define
the entirety
and the otherness of you

in this place
that holds
nothing

and everything
of itself

    I never thought of it like that, that only I can be me. That I am other. I like.

    Very much what has been on my mind-heart too, Steven. It's why it's essential that each of us brings the visible inside to the invisible place, and re-express it back to the world. Thank you.

    hi lilith - i reinforce on a regular basis with my ten and eleven year old students the notion that they exist as the sole iteration of themselves and all the potentialities that emerge from the confluence of their soul and the body it inhabits. it's the first gift of this place. steven

    I would have to say that your students are lucky to have a teacher like you, a teacher who says it's okay to be yourself.

    tess - it's really interesting to me the way knowledge or insight arrives at a time when its needed. that goes for the very personal scale right up to the entire human race. steven
