What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being?

I kiss the dirt with my bare feet.

I let weeds speak to me before I pull them.

I drink bitter things and let the bitterness stay in my mouth.

I lie down when I’m tired,

even if the dishes are still watching me.

I stop trying to heal fast.

Sometimes I let the body win.

Sometimes I let the dream win.

I salt my bath like a small exorcism.

I stay close to what’s ugly and honest.

I write things down before I can lie about them.
