A little Monday momentum and musings.
A kiss and nod to what 2026 has offered me so far and a taste of poetry curated along the way.✨💌

Humility is not a summit
but a returning -
a quiet shedding,
what once held now loosening
without being forced.
I have known the body close to the ground,
listening through the belly,
moving in curves, in cautions -
the slow intelligence of release.
Now something shifts.
A restlessness gathers in the legs,
a widening through the chest -
as if motion is remembering me
before I begin.
I do not wait easily.
Stillness hums under the ribs,
a question I want to answer
with movement.
But something quieter says: stay.
Not every surge is a command.
Not every tension needs a door.
So I linger…
in the charged space
between holding and traveling,
between what is
and what has not yet opened.
And here,
almost imperceptibly,
the urgency softens.
Space appears.
And I wonder
if this, too, is enough -
this poised, unfinished becoming,
this learning to trust
what moves
before I understand it.
