YOU ARE THE MEDICINE

SAKINA S. DOSSAJI

In the words of Maria Sashina,
Mexican healer and poet –

“Heal yourself with the light of the sun
and the rays of the moon.”

With the sound of the river
and the waterfall,

With the singing of the sea
and the fluttering of birds

Heal yourself with mint, neem,
and eucalyptus.

Sweeten with lavender,
rosemary, and chamomile.

Hug yourself with the cocoa bean
and a hint of cinnamon.

Put love in tea instead of sugar
and drink it looking at the stars.

Heal yourself with the kisses
that the wind gives you
and the hugs of the rain.

Stand strong with your bare feet on the
ground and with everything that comes
from it.

Be smarter every day
by listening to your intuition,
looking at the world with your forehead.

Jump, dance, sing,
so that you live happier.

Heal yourself, with beautiful love,
and always remember …
You are the Medicine.
