flesh and blood,
skin and bone,
muscle and sinew,
knit together, a wonder,
intricate organs,
minute cells,
woven to the
mystery of me,
connected as
mind, spirit, soul,
given substance,
unique one of a kind substance,
fearfully and wonderfully made...

why then do I struggle with me?
even struggle against me ?
why do I fight
even despise
who I am?
I am not a surface being,
I can revel in interconnected senses,
touch and smell, taste and hearing...
the wind in my hair,
the earth,
beneath my feet,
the smell of a newborn,
I am fearfully and wonderfully made...

if I want to embody love,
I will have to start with myself, accept myself,
warts, wonder and all,
so I ask for grace to accept me,
even my body
with its joys and its pains,
to nurture and care for me,
to accept and nourish me,
funny how I called my body it
as I began...
I changed my thinking...
from now on it is me,
fearfully and wonderfully made...

I want to embody love
I choose to begin,
making a change,
accepting that I am accepted,
fearfully and wonderfully made
