#somatic exercise

source: theworkoutwitch_ on IG

I am a fan of some of the posts from this account, they are very insightful, as well as the creator advocating for somatic exercises for those who are experiencing difficulty finding that peaceful release or healing from even known relaxing exercises like yoga. As a sufferer from chronic illness and chronic pain I find it especially useful.

  I want this movie to be simple

I’ve always wanted life to be simple my greatest achievement

(I think)

Is the internal minimalization of everything

Instead maybe just my greatest mistake but

The damages it has wrought so far

Have been too small to tell.

The “apples” the quinces

Are even gold now

Money, their gold amongst the green leaves,

Has never been anything to me. 

Its luster has fallen simply off the tree for me when it seems right

And easy.

I’ve managed it well, and I scoff at the weak

Who squander and whom it squanders.

I did not imagine this to be urban like Hercules

I have spent my best when I could in the rural

But not enslaved like Him.

Bones rattling, the train’s violent shaking

Makes me aware of myself and I bet

He never got self-conscious.

These subtitles are imperfect,

All I acknowledge is the imperfect

What has happened

I am no Hercules

Perfection is nothing to me.

I have finished all my Labors and

Still

I am not free.

Wait,

The language,

The breathiness the light the subject.

I am relaxed

And feel as if again in those rural fields of escape.

Such a transformation, No, I know

My greatest achievement: mastery of time.

Now the breathing has turned into

Unbearable grunts, the talking goes

On and on, it is dark.

My back hurts. I am back again.

But now I know

I see the cycle

I will leave soon

And be back again.
