Bodies (5/12)

As a dancer my body is my means of expression, of release. It is my instrument. Most importantly, though, my body is a temporary container and carrier of my soul. As John O'Donohue says in his book "Anam Cara" "Your body is your clay home; your body is the only home you have in this universe... your body is the home of your soul on earth."
It is through this flesh vessel that I can connect with my more external home, the earth. I often dance barefoot to physically feel the texture of the earth beneath my feet.

Thank you, body, for allowing me to jump, to embrace, to fight, to climb, to dance. Bodies are magnificent creations and "it is such a privilege to be embodied."
