Armour
Both protects and numbs.
It protects:
My heart from pain;
My soul from risk;
My mind from despair;
My body from intimacy.
It numbs:
My desire for love;
My highest hopes;
My capacity for faith;
My openness to vulnerability.
Tai Chi cultivates chi
By allowing it to flow.
Blockages and wounds
Melt away in the flow of energy;
Incompatible with the armour I wear.
Armour
Both protects and numbs.
Spirit
Grant me the courage and strength
To divest myself
Of this armour.
