Unwind and Revere
Yourself
Janet Kuypers
11/21/19 (on the 4th Saturday in
November, International Aura Day)
when I was so stressed out
from work, from the weaker sex
doctors gave me drugs
because the doctors thought
there was something
physically wrong with me
so I got away
for a few weeks
I went to visit my parents
while they were still alive
and I sat in the sun
and tried to unwind
and I realized
that my stresses
were what I ran from
so decided then and there
to stop taking medications,
and I mentally get rid
of the things that hurt me
and it worked
—
sometimes you can get away
sometimes life seems too tough
and you don’t know what to do
and at times like this,
when your aura seems too weak
sometimes, sometimes
you need to take a moment
walk into a buddhist temple
not to revere a god
but to take a moment
remove
your shoes
and... take a moment
so you can revere yourself again
