WARNING :: Not WORK SAFE.
SUBJECT MATTER :: Finding the body.
Returning to the body.
Honoring the body.
Whew.
This was a rough one.
Somewhere in the healing process came the re-discovery of affection.
A comfort with it.
At some point, even the slightest touch beyond a handshake made me very nervous; a gentle hand on my arm literally 'burned'. It was terrifying.
PROCESS: I begin to collect the still images and art that seem relevant to this exercise of getting back to the body in order to better understand the historical context. To help my imperfect memories. These are the images you see 'under' the poem.
"....The search continues for 98.6 and a union of tongues...."
This is a subject of interest to folks whose bodies were hurt, regardless of whence the violence originated.
It's my theory that 'physical' therapy is important in this step, but something not easily addressed or tackled. I think I'm ready to approach that healing now.
How, where and with whom did you address this part of healing?
Courage.
