Why should I’ve even care?
When I could be under the rain
in the jungle,
completely naked.
Why should I’ve even care?
about reclaiming my nakedness, my nudity
when I can finally be myself.
Why should I’ve even care?
about this dream,
when I decided to be naked,
Water was arriving from its long trip,
for our date.
Why should I’ve even care?
about wearing clothes to cover so much shame,
when the skin I am wearing was being kissed
by every single warm and cold drop of rain.
Why should I’ve even care?
when we dance together
infinite droplets meandered,
swam and flew
before falling down from the sky to my skin.
Why should I’ve even care?
when so much magic has happened
for us to dance together again.
So many things had to happen
to find myself,
to meet me again.
All I needed was
to seek this dance,
to experience it,
to embrace it.
And to be free of anything that would stop me
breathing from the inside to the outside.
So I could be naked,
be myself
and live out one of my truths.
To dance
without needing anything other than myself.
To feel how the damp and playful earth
supports me and encourages me
to follow my own footsteps.
To remember that I could be myself;
being human, woman,
daughter of Mother Earth,
nymph, goddess
and my own medicine.
At the beginning I had decided to abandon this dance,
maybe because I didn’t believe that dreams come true.
But in that moment,
that moment of dancing,
I deeply missed this feeling of wholeness.
I couldn’t resist coming back immediately
to continue being myself.
Why should I’ve even care?
about being myself
when it’s all that I am and all that I have.
It is what I came here for.
Yes,
to be myself
just like all the forest beings
that were with me that afternoon.
…
To my other self, Water.
And to the truth that lives within us.
Thank you for your truth, for your journey.
