Coming Home to Your Body

Aug 23, 2025

This poem or short writing comes from the belated and beloved Irish John O'Donaue, author and former priest, who writes beautifully about holy sensuality and sacred embodiment:

The body is a sacrament. The traditional definition of sacrament captures this beautifully. A sacrament is a visible sign of invisible grace. In that definition there is a fine acknowledgment of how the unseen world comes to expression in the visible world. This desire for expression lies deep in the heart of the invisible world. All our inner life and intimacy of soul longs to find an outer mirror. It longs for a form in which it can be seen, felt and touched. The body is the mirror where the sacred world of the soul comes into expression…” 

If you add some golden liquid honey, that slow molasses-like substance, filling up your entire body with awakeness and glitter and sensuality, how do you experience yourself now. What is shifting in your body and in your perception of yourself right now?
