| Letter To My Belly
 Dear Belly,
 I want to ay a few wordsand sing your praises.
 You play second fiddle
 to your neighbor, the heart.
 It gets all the glory -
 it holds associations
 to love, compassion, spirit.
 Few talk about you
 and fewer know your treasures.
 When your knot unravels,like the spiral of a galaxy,
 or the opening of a flower,
 you're a sphere of wondrous bliss.
 Moreover you're a seat
 of profound wisdom.
 I look to you for advice,
 your words are the wisest.
 
 When your place softens,you become a doorway
 to love and compassion,
 and you change the way
 I view the world.
 Just like your neighbor,
 you're a host to deep feeling.
 You're also a placewhere tension collects,
 of deep fears of survival,
 or a focus of will,
 and when this is released,
 you are the source of
 unspeakable relief.
 When your realm opens,the heart follows suit,
 thanks to hidden nadis,
 that tie you together.
 You're a spirit powerwith great hidden secrets
 and it fills me with joy
 to taste of your depths.
 Much love,Phil
