Whipped Softness: A Body Soufflé Ritual
Outside, everything is hard:
the ice, the wind, the days cut short.
I open the jar,
and a cloud is waiting,
light as meringue,
soft as a Sunday morning.
It melts the moment it meets my skin,
unhurried, weightless.
This is what I keep from the day:
this moment, all softness.
Dehors, tout est dur :
la glace, le vent, les jours trop courts.
J'ouvre le pot,
et c'est un nuage qui m'attend,
léger comme une meringue,
doux comme un dimanche matin.
Il fond au contact de ma peau,
sans hâte, sans poids.
Voilà ce que je garde de la journée :
ce moment, tout en douceur.
The ritual
In the evening, scoop a small amount of Body Soufflé and warm it between your palms. Massage slowly into the driest areas: elbows, knees, shins. For extra softness, apply it to skin that's still slightly damp after your shower.
