As the sun rose in the sky
I danced as an offering
An offering to the sun
As the sun rose in the sky
I moved my body
Releasing every story of unworthiness
Inadequacy
Comparison
And I offered all of these stories to the sun
And as the sun rose
So did my spirit return to me
This is my prayer
This isn’t a performance
To remember that to be feminine is not based off of how you look
But it is found in how much permission we give ourselves to truly feel
To feel alive
To feel free
To feel liberated
And the more I love myself
The more beautiful other people become
So this is why I dance
In honor of loving myself
Just the way I am
And therefore loving you
Just the way that you are
