Floating + Gravity

A small collection of journal writings that include the words 'float', 'gravity', and 'water' over images of playing with the water somewhere in Minnesota.

Let me float on the smile of perfection that holds the sky's reflection.

is love the womb we all return to?

do we swim, float, or sink?

surrender to the water

must we drown in the womb of our first mother

become her and birth ourselves again?

can I breathe in this watery womb of being born again?

graviception: the perception of gravity

a word to describe the sense of gravity

gravity as theory

just a story that we all buy and accept as truth

gravity is awesome

a gentle somatic tool of grounding by way of being held

but not just held - there is an ease to this holding of us that gravity takes no burden to

an unconditional holding

without any effort

because....gravity is just gravity

help me sink into these bones

this soil and earth

help me sense my presence on this massive rock

hold me without asking for anything

expect no investment on return

as it takes a glimpse of my assured existence

gravity, help me trust

that I am a kept woman of the ground

keep me breathing breathable air

remind me I can trust myself like this

may I float with gravity

forever and ever

I've eaten enough of Christ's body to know my body is holy

I've drunk enough of Christ's blood to know the blood I bleed is holy

I've been showered under enough holy water to know all water is holy

I was born a Catholic and I will die a whore - I don't see the difference

the best is yours,

elle
