Ki-ken-tai-ichi you take in through your eyes and your feet at the same time, feeling that floor rumble beneath you

Fumikomi declared with a strong foot decisively says “I am here, I am committed, harmonized, alive”

On Jealousy

A friend recently mentioned jealousy in a conversation, which got me thinking…

I don’t get jealous so much. I don’t hate others — I just can get very very sad if I lose something important, and internalize it. I have a problem with myself, not the other.

On Emotional Suppression

I suppress the surges, even when I don’t mean to. 

They swell, then subside. 

I swallow and swallow and swallow them. I push them so far down, I think they must be gone

Empty in the outer layers, but, underneath, tiny vibrations, too far away to register with a label, yet present enough to remind me of my worth.
