Ups, downs, back flips and summersaults, cartwheels and splits — no I’m not describing a day of gymnastics, it’s called LIFE. Everyday doesn’t always bring 24hours of solidarity, peace and joy. Sometimes we have movements that exist within the moment that repositions our alignment propping us for the next assignment. The movement is sometimes painful, often awkwardly uncomfortable or genuinely off-course. Shifts that stimulate our frames to become hard as steel, our facial expressions lost in thought or despair. It’s in these moments that I question — Where is my heart♥️? The heart narrates recuperation and succession. Do you come out smooth as silk or hard as steel? I would venture to say, some of both.
While silk is lustrous and lightweight, it’s also impressively strong, with one filament of silk being stronger than a comparable filament of steel. Both elements result from processes that involve heat, stretching and pressure with a finishing shine. I admonish you to finish strong – beautiful, delicate and lustrous as silk; diverse, imperfect and resilient as steel.
