Dance. You might feel silly at first. Your soft muscles may feel the instinct to shrink. Your hands may refuse to rise higher than your collarbones but go on. Move. Twirl. Clap. Relish the heat rising to the surface. Raise those arms up like a hallelujah. Let your body take the shape of childlike joy and gift it to you. Let it form the exhale it has been searching for all this time.
