Prompt 12: Body Integration {via Reverb 10}
"This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn’t mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present?" (Author: Patrick Reynolds)
I think body integration happens for me in small, ordinary moments, and the first place I can think where it almost always happens, is at the beach. I can't quite explain it, but there's something about the salty ocean breeze, melodious waves, warm sun, and vastness of the sandy beach that wipes my mind clean of all worry and pulls my body into it's peaceful rhythm. I could sit completely still on the beach for hours without any effort or thought. I can't help but feel completely alive in body and present in mind when I'm near the ocean, and even though I can't explain it beyond that, E. E. Cummings sums it up perfectly:
"Whatever we lose, like a You or a Me, it's always ourselves that we find at the Sea."
