‘I Want’ Body Poems are a meditation and a potential daily practice.
When we begin each sentence with
‘I want …’
memory channels open inside of us in response to this identification
Aspects of ourselves that have not had a look in might emerge seeking recognition
This can be surprising and not surprising at the same time.
Like water finds its way to the lowest point of the ocean, our wants will eventually bring us to our knees in prayer for acknowledgement.
This is self responsibility where we enable ourselves to take care of our wants - those aspects of us that we are hoping people who love us might be attuned to and understand and take care of for us.
Naturally, we want to take care of each others needs but it makes it a lot easier if we if we are able to represent ourselves.
Writing an ‘I want’ list every so often can help us understand whats on the surface and whats under the surface.
What's under the surface gets expressed in under the surface ways and can become a parallel relationship to the explicit co created realities we are sharing.
In the ‘Aleema za duka duka' of our imaginations the implicit potentially emerges into something explicit. There is then the possibility of unthought knowns being noticed, acknowledged and valued in shared reality.
