An Ode to the Sacred Art of Movement
To the sacred art of movement.
To circus.
To the strange and holy devotion of the body.
Pole dancing tests my strength.
It asks my muscles to speak truths my mind cannot.
It reminds me that power is not loud —
it is built slowly, in silence, in gravity and sweat.
Hair hanging tests my will.
It pulls me past the point of comfort
and forces me into my breath.
There is no escaping myself there.
Only surrender and presence.
Contortion shows me the path into my soul.
Each shape is a doorway. Each fold of the body asks:
How deeply can you listen?
These art forms do something mystical to me.
They teleport me into other dimensions of reality and possibility. Places where the body becomes prayer.
Where physics bends into poetry.
Where the impossible quietly becomes practice.
Even with a disability, my body continues to reveal its magic. Sometimes I feel like an alien here —
a strange creature discovering what the human form is capable of. What I can do inspite of physical pain and limitation. Exploring my vessel with this lens has always kept me open and curious rather than believing the limitations.
This body is not broken.
This body is a portal.
I can do the most incredible things with it.
And that is holy as f**k.
That is sacred.
And the greatest magic of all
is learning to move at my own pace.
To rest. To take days, weeks, sometimes months away.
To return —and find that the body remembers.
As if nothing was ever lost.
That, to me, is pure magic.
