Relax Deeply with Katie

Determined to restore relationship tonight, when she asked if we needed to share anything about our bodies, i did. " i've lost most of my vision", i said. Katie was very attentive throughout class.
Maria was there again. She offered to pick me up here in Zprinceville to take me to 8:00 am class!
First K said, If you have issues with your breathe, Resolve them! Ehat a queer thing to say ;) i was 'hooked'

That poem!
Poem (The spirit likes to dress up...) by Mary Oliver
The spirit
likes to dress up like this:
ten fingers, 
ten toes,

shoulders, and all the rest
at night
in the black branches,
in the morning

in the blue branches
of the world.
It could float, of course,
but would rather

plumb rough matter.
Airy and shapeless thing,
it needs 
the metaphor of the body,

lime and appetite,
the oceanic fluids;
it needs the body's world,
instinct

and imagination
and the dark hug of time,
sweetness
and tangibility,

to be understood,
to be more than pure light
that burns
where no one is --

so it enters us --
in the morning
shines from brute comfort
like a stitch of lightning;

and at night
lights up the deep and wondrous
drownings of the body
like a star.
