When I dance I feel alive. When I listen to my heart I feel safe.
We are grateful for the food and shelter, but we need to find security within ourselves since we have nothing else left.
We serve 1,600 meals a day, every day..there are 8 of us to provide this service.
I feel better. I feel whole.
I’m eating and sleeping again...I am ready for what the day brings now.
Through this I have found ground, through this I have found voice, through this I have found my way back to myself.
I am learning to trust my body again, after so much pain and hurt, love is there.
These events remind me of my responsibility to hold space for myself so I can safely hold space for others.
We cannot do this alone. We must do this together, collectively and whole heartedly.
