Embodyment

A human exploration.

Author's note:  I explore this idea of embodied pedagogy, realizing that our society fragments the mind away from body and emotion.  In this writing, think about what it is like to be whole.



I am not afraid to speak my mind

Even though my voice is shaky

Tomorrow my thoughts may evolve and change

But this is part of being human



I am not afraid to speak my heart

Even though parts are locked and secreted

Emotions felt and written on paper

Fondly remind us of the joy in living.



I am not afraid to speak my body

Even though speaking causes pain

Recognition and healing of the hurt

I become self-actualized whole.
