Her I call a healer who recognizes toxicity in her environment
And resolves to protect herself and others accordingly
Her I call a healer who swims against the fierce current
Of conditioning of GPAs and rankings
Her I call a healer who remembers the truths
Learned in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Honduras
Her I call a healer who remains unfazed
By future income, inflated status, and other monuments to ego
Her I call a healer who understands
That to care for the world is to care for herself
Her I call a healer who realizes
That to care for herself is to care for the world
Her I call a healer who honors the teachers
Who have shown her how to be still and how to move
Her I call a healer who seeks integration
Of the left and the right, the light and the shadow
Her I call a healer who knows
“Yoga is who she is”
