I did think of you when I was writing this. I remembered what I know of your past and thought about how your body had been taken from you in the darkest of ways. You are right, it is a difficult thing. It's a practice I have to return to, sometimes multiple times in one day.Thanks for leaving such a thoughtful comment, but mostly just for being here.

I wish that I had never been touched inappropriately so that what I felt had not been disturbed/defiled by that. <br />I wish that even at this age I could love this old body more for what it has given me.<br />I do love it for the life that it has created and then given birth to and then nourished through my own ability to make milk. I respect it, I cherish it, I watch as if from a great distance how as I age it fails me. I try to love it even as it does. <br />I tell you that the marriage of soul/spirit/meat is a difficult thing. <br />I think you have written something beautiful here. I love you for saying what you have said. Even as I age, I need to remember the lesson you are giving me. <br />Thank you. <br />Ms. Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09776404747858099919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-21365419417062279172013-10-19T20:11:01.236-04:002013-10-19T20:11:01.236-04:00Thank you, Angella.

I have been trying to reawaken in my body, to love it as surely I once must have loved it, and I have, too, been trying to write a post about what this disconnection with my body feels like. I have not been able to find the words, but you, oh my Lord, you reached down inside us all, the universe of women, and you set it down, exactly as it is, the way it feels, exactly as we need to hear it, and thank you seems too puny to express how deeply moving is the truth of this, the shock of sight, but thank you, thank you and love. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916416825093476865.post-66083162173223704942013-10-18T11:50:14.737-04:002013-10-18T11:50:14.737-04:00Wow.
