🕊️ "Nous nous ferons une demeure."

Dieu ne cherche pas à te visiter, mais à habiter en toi. Une présence intime, un sanctuaire de paix au cœur du tumulte.

One Tuesday morning I practiced with no mirror, no phone, no one expected. The body just moved.

I didn't know I was still carrying it until it was gone.

When did your practice stop being something you performed?

The Two Silks: Chan Si Jing and Cho Si Jing – On the Inner and Outer Path of Silk Reeling

There is an old story about a silk farmer who, early one morning, lowers a cocoon into warm water. With a single steady finger, she finds the thread’s beginning and begins to reel.
