How to Be "At Home"

Canadian poet Tanya Davis released a videopoem with Andrea Dorfman titled, How to Be At Home. 

"Coming a decade after Davis’s and Dorfman’s award-winning piece How to Be Alone, this more recent adaptation feels just right for these days of quarantine and almost bottomless uncertainty. Her poetry feels so here-and-now that it’s easy to imagine it’s written just for us. Her softly insistent voice is not only deeply soothing, but she offers us sound advice and a boatful of compassion as we live through these stormy times together—even while social distancing." says Amber Tucker of Mindful.org

Tucker drew 4 things from this poem:

1) Go Inward. 

2) Care for Your Body 

3) Reclaim Your Joy (but feel the sadness, too)

4) Savor life and our interconnectedness

What did you draw from this poem? How do you care for your body?
