Callings of the Soul

We are spirits living temporarily in an earthly body.

As an unwanted guest, 

not welcome in his own house, 

I stumble within my physicality, 

uncomfortable,restless,confuse.

De skin hurts as a blanket of barbed wire, 

as if what lives under it, 

is too huge to contain. 

and the entrails are aching, 

inhabited by registers of pain. 

It feels like wearing a too tight dress, 

that doesn't let you breath. 

I give thanks to this vessel though, 

for carrying me around. 

We are fellow travelers,

we are mates, we are bound.

This body gives me sensations and stories. 

I give it Life and Light. 

We dance this unraveling path,

together, in good and bad. 

And...as I clear our ways...

freeing myself by allowing, 

I give answer to the callings of my Soul: 

Spirit and body becoming Holy.

Hi Shandra
And thanks.

Yes, I do feel at home in my body. However, as I age I imagine that may change.
