Just before reading your post about Infinite Belonging I came across this poem by Rumí:

The light you give off

did not come from a pelvis.

Your features did not begin in semen.

Don’t try to hide inside anger

radiance that cannot be hidden.

I don’t think Rumí is “putting down” Somatic Belonging so much as making a distinction that helps us pivot more flexibly between these two domains of experience. What do you think? The effect of the poem on me is akin to coming out from under “a bushel basket”
