Celeste Snowber: Bodypsalm for Remembering back your Passion

Remember back the body

flames in the belly

calling one to live

as each day is the first and the last

Your life is a precious

entity of cells and blood

quirks and sentences of glory

Remember back the passion

don’t let the awe

slip from your fingers

toes, hips, pelvis and voice

Draw back into presence your own calling

for what you are meant to do and be

on this glorious planet

coupled with the paradox of terror and beauty

It is not only the earth

which needs greening

but your own precious soul

sometimes lost in the meetings, emails or laundry.

Remember back all of you

messy and unpredictable

veins pulsing with a hopefulness

to thirst for more.

Hunger is your spiritual director

Coming in all forms –

discontent or agitation

Press on to what is nudging you

breathing you back into

inhabiting your own body

The calling of your life

lies at the door

waiting for you.
