Body at The Edge of Crisis

When everything around you feels wrong,
When everything around you is in disarray,
When everything around you is chaotic,
When everything around you turns violent,
When everything around you feels unsafe,
When everything around you is marked by vulnerability,
When everything around you cries out,
When everything around you is fading,
When everything around you is dying,
When everything around you spins out of control—

Seek refuge within.
Listen to the bodily sensations.
Be aware and equanimous.
In that still, inner space, your insight awakens—
Guiding you to act, to heal, and to serve yourself and others.
