I am a sacred athlete.
I am an athlete of life,
A being human, of the human race.
A race to the start, a race through the middle, a race……in the end.
I am a sacred athlete
I am an athlete of life
A doing human
The bumps, the groans, the ohhhh so lovely joy filled moans
I am a sacred athlete.
I am an athlete of life
A human being, buzzing, loving, humming, directing, pointing, panting, turning, twirling, burning.
Oohhhh ……ahhhhh (breathing deeply and sighing loudly)
Who am I? I am sure I left me in here somewhere
I am a sacred athlete
I am an athlete of life
Crying, laughing, wiggling, jiggling,
I am a wobbly, pulsing red jelly in a bag of bones and skin
I am a sacred athlete
I am an athlete of life
I am soul
I am essence
I am stars and the sea
I am wind and I am the stone
I am the fire and the Earth
I am woman, wife, lover
I am warrior, sister, mother
I am maiden, crone, creator
I am a sacred athlete
I am home.
