What a meditative poem Andy! I feel these closing lines:

On days when thinking

feels impossible,

my singing body thanks

some silent god

that it is finally free

to feel again.

Felt this in my bones: "On days when thinking feels impossible, I lay my thoughts down and let them rattle— my bones that is. When the thoughts are gone, my limbs shake and quake free from worry, my bones become wind chimes." Beautiful, freeing imagery.

Thank you so much for your wonderful description of Opol, I couldn't have said it better myself 🥺 So grateful for the community we've created together!!
