Tight tank tops to accentuate a small bust, long skirts to hide thick legs,
fasting from time to time to look like those models, those movie stars,
never knowing what they were starving inside. Oh, to be comfortable
in my body back then, learning to listen as I do now, as if a wise and holy
ancestor is sending her poem forward in time, so I don’t make the same
mistakes that she did. I’m listening, Dear One, I’m listening. There is
no one right diet, exercise, sleep pattern, stress reduction, social
connection, or spiritual practice that will fix you. Let lifestyle
changes be motivated by kindness and not shoulds.
It’s your care that most satiates the need.
