God Says Yes To Me
Kaylin Haught

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

from The Palm of your Hand, 1995

came across this quote and had to share. shame takes us out of our natural rhythm and distances us from our true nature. would love to hear how you work with shame - where does it show up in your life? how can you transform this energy into something positive?

We live in a world where most people still subscribe to the belief that shame is a good tool for keeping people in line. Not only is this wrong, but it's dangerous. Shame is highly correlated with addiction, violence, aggression, depression, eating disorders and bullying. Researchers don't find shame correlated with positive outcomes at all -- there are no data to support that shame is a helpful compass for good behavior. In fact, shame is much more likely to be the cause of destructive and hurtful behaviors than it is to be the solution. -- Brene Brown

a late summer poem by Dana Faulds.

Sun Kissed
The blown conch sounds
its low note. In the warm
air, the fragrance of musk
and lilac mingle. A wooden
flute wraps its melody around
me like silk. The time for dry
austerities is past. I cast my
robe aside, throw bare arms
wide and let the sunlight
have its way with me.

Curves, softness, breath, beauty,
movement, breasts seek the sun's
embrace. A lifetime of shame
lifts, burning away like morning
mist. Adrift, the rising tide
of passion takes me, and I
do not wish to find the shore.
