Feel

Find delight through the body I gave you, daughter.  I didn't just slap it together to give your soul, heart, mind, and spirit a vehicle for getting around.  Your senses are yours to lap up every bit of good I have created.  The pleasure you can experience in and through each carefully created inch of you is my gift to you.

Click the camera of your mind and capture that snapshot of the budding tree against the perfect blue backdrop, the sun's rays streaking through the grasping branches and into your soul.  Revel in the sloppiness of a spontaneous kiss on the cheek.  Savor the tingly sparkle of discovery and the radiant glow of pride.  Welcome the shivers as the breeze dances across the lake in unpredictably wonderful patterns of rippling water.  Flow along with your hand as you write in swirling cursive across a fresh page.  Tease your ear into a smile as you play with words until the level of subtle eloquence is just right.  Transform each pounding step of a run into freedom and joy.  Let the fragrance of memory take you on a journey.  Make sure to walk barefoot and know that this is holy ground.  Knead the dough and really get your hands in deep.  Let the shower run a little longer just noticing the impact on your shoulders and the drip-trails down your breasts.  Drum until your hands are stinging, sing and feel your insides ringing.  Embrace every embrace with all you are.  Lean in and treasure each sensation.

Feel it all.  Enjoy it all.  And know that it is good.
