You Need to Ask
Important User Guidance: Start a questions list now
Ask your
BODY
cuz it pulls triple shifts
despite deficits up the yin-yang.
Every process, an orchestrated symphony of
finesse often taken for granted like your
gall bladder which can’t earn you more social media likes online but sure
‘hellur-excruciating’ when function ain’t fine.
Incommensurate appreciation metamorphoses the ratio of physiological
joint range juxtaposed with errands outstanding, action without a thought but
keyhole surgery now
looms,
mandatory sick days with
nerves on edge,
options that sever nerves/straddle medication charts, a result of frequent disregard,
prioritized failure...on the one thing unequivocally yours from birth—a body.
Quotation marks circa dialogue of “Keep going” and “Hurry up” you
relinquished to
societal somebodies…anybodies
that you shoulda-coulda-woulda taken ownership of, so FFS
U-turn pre-existing trajectories!
Value deeply held reflections upon intent that demand
win-win scenarios
Xerox-copied multiple times, so ask
your body what it needs on a daily from that
zoom lens focus prepped to implement notes taken—ASK and wait...it will answer.
