• ​Poem: Go In and In by Danna Faulds - featured inside Chapter 10: Being, Pelvic Yoga Therapy for the Whole Woman

Go in and in. Be the space between two cells,the vast, resounding silence in which spirit dwells.Be sugar dissolving on the tongue of life. Dive in and in, as deep as you can dive. Be infinite, ecstatic truth.Be love conceived and born in union. Be exactly what you seek, the Beloved, singing Yes,tasting Yes, embracing Yes, until there is only essence;the All of Everything expressing through you as you. Go in and in and turn away from nothing that you find.
