This short offering came after a breathwork session in Pawlet, VT, in which so many remembrances of violence and bullying by the men in the first part of my life arose and left me raw and wide open to EVERYTHING…
OPEN
By Ronit LeMon Deneen
Open is a hard place to be
People still wear their heavy boots inside
Even when you ask them not to
Open lets it all in
Whether you want it
or not
But closed
Closed is a barrier
Between the self and the self
Yes, the floors stay clean
Sterile
Untouched
Sometimes, having dirty floors is better.
