Don’t rush to heal me. Let me be with my tears From centuries past Of wounded lineages Whose courage rebirthed itself with each generation. Let me be with my rage Whose screams are heard across parallel realities In the awake of transformation Arising from the belly of the beast Calling out to every god and […]
Sometimes you just need to sit down and have a conversation with yourself. A raw, fierce, deeply rooted, knock-down, wild, illuminating, Merciful, honest talk about who you are. Beyond the illusion, beyond how you want everyone to see you, Beyond how you see yourself. Beyond how you are supposed to be Or what you didn’t […]
There is a certain vulnerability in the abyss, in that space where we think we don’t matter, that our life has no meaning or purpose.

Your body is a temple. Of all the gods who laid down their swords in service of your soul. Your cells, your tissues, your blood and your bones. Your sweat and your tears. Your sufferings and your joys. A vast landscape of light and darkness Entering both heaven and the abyss In search of the […]
There is this liminal space between bodies, the ones we incarnate into over and over again. The threshold where we may not get to choose gender or culture, limbs or features, or perhaps even the narrative that will earth our bodies into that experience.
