Temazcal Reflections

What an incredible experience: heat, steam, sweat, dark, sound, earth, heart, voice, fear, adrenaline, center.

Love.

I felt the cusp of breaking apart, pieces spilling outward, even as I questioned whether I held back in those moments that demanded full, spiritual nudity. Or perhaps, I was already released.

I remember distinctly checking my pulse and feeling its slow, purposeful beat. And then feeling my heart race. Was that real...or a mental mirage?

I remember distinctly touching my chest just to feel my heart physically, to make sure it hadn't burst!

I remember vividly talking myself through the intensity of flame and fear of suffocation: physical and spiritual.

I thought of family, friends, love, and Lebanon. I was (am) grateful for them all.

I am. I am. I am. I am a...

Warrior. Lover. Solver. Giver.

I am Earth and Moon and Sun. I am alive. I am here.

 I am me.
