It’s hard to find the words to describe what it’s like to be held by a spirit, by a subtle being devoid of skin. It’s a heady sensation, my skin gently touched and pressed, often scooped into fetal position with my breath briefly caught in my chest, then released. The exhale resets me and for a moment I am suspended between realities.
