How kind you've been to hold me together this way, to stretch and slough and heal when wounded. Let me ease with oils and respect your unfailing resilience. Remarkable body I salute you. You have moved, danced, climbed, skied, stooped, lifted, swum, borne children, carried me with grace and delight. I shall always be grateful.
Mobility is a noble, shining gift however long it lasts.
I will do my best to care for the body that is mine as long as I can. When you from your bag of tricks and bones pull some surprise upon me I will look at it, Receive it carefully and decide how it is to be treated or used. Patience is one. I ask That you will not dominate me, but that we work together hand in hand.
