Sacred
As we breathe we become
Sweet humming, lavender stalks
caressing the sinuous echoes
Hello friends,
I hope you are well. Lately, I have been exploring spaces where stillness paradoxically births rhythm, and where shape, rather than limit, can give way to great aliveness.
So today’s poem is an offering to embodiment and flow, to the bones of what we are and the breath of how we move in the world. Variations, perspectives, prayer.
If I may, I suggest reading the poem out loud or listening to the audio for the full experience. From my heart, this is: Sacred.
Sacred
Sweet humming, lavender stalks
caressing the sinuous echoes of
pulsing flow, like skin we
surrender into, body brimming
with pleasure born from magic,
being sung from the
thrumming, infinity gathering
its edges held within the
sacred, bliss into form
as we breathe we become,
sweet-humming lavender stalks,
caressing the sinuous echoes of
pulsing flow-like skin,
we surrender into body,
brimming with pleasure, born
from magic being sung from the
thrumming infinity, gathering
its edges held, within the
sacred bliss into form
as we breathe, we become
sweet-humming! lavender stalks
caressing the sinuous, echoes of
pulsing flow, like skin, we
surrender into body brimming,
with pleasure born from magic
being sung from, the
thrumming infinity gathering
its edges, held within the
sacred bliss, into form.

Thank you for joining me in my exploration of rhythm.
I may need to slow down accordingly, so you will see me in your inbox every two weeks this spring as I get settled and give my writing a little more space to keep evolving. As always, I’m grateful for your presence and readership.
Yours,
Ana Cristina

Aine is a dream-weaver who shares her soul with a seer, a Buddha, and a warrior. Barthò is a herbalist whose other self is a great oak tree from a distant world. When Aine unexpectedly births a dragon-self that unearths something deep inside their psyches—could it unravel the forgotten nature of their shared soul?




I can almost smell the lavender and feel the 'thrumming' in these lines. There is a gorgeous, tactile energy here. It’s a wonderful reminder of how sacred it is simply to inhabit our own skin ✨
As we breathe, we become.
Lavender stalks hum against the pulse,
our skin surrendering to flow,
pleasure weaving from magic,
edges of infinity held within the sacred.
And in that gathering,
we are both the city and the moon,
both body and echo.
