I spent a lot of time in the tub
resting my weary legs and my aching bones.
For the first time in my life I understood
the need to be cradled.
I took inventory of the spaces and the places
where water pooled
And was surprised to find
myself no less whole than before.
Slowly I stretched my legs a little further,
let my shoulders fall open
and found joy in taking up so much space.
