This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 18, 2009:
discomfort
my body screaming out for attention - feel me feel me now!!!
living
the sound of bubbles going pop
illusions dissolving
like a seed unfurling into a tree
like a baby pushed through a birth canal
squishy and sloppy
muscles squeezing
like eating fruit
juicy, crunchy, sweet, bitter
like falling with no time to breath
like breathing with no time to fall
like the crunch of a saddle on feeble foot bones
that blow up into a foot ball of squishy puss
like being suffocated by sloppy sludgy hats
that restrict and restrain
being too painful to feel
that numbness is all that stops you from living
no wonder that tooth had to fester for over twelve months before
it was felt with such a blasting over bearing pain
that nothing would keep it ignorable
pain feels like a question
you can ignore it
or you can answer it
i have learned that i like living more then i like ignoring
so for me
pain is life
and in my world
it's called coming home to loving support
why would i ignore that?
discomfort - i embrace you
body - i listen to you and i love you
pain? we talk, we share, we change and we choose life
so the pain is less with the attention I give myself
with the breathing my body needs
and loving support my world is
now pain is just a reminder to be more attentive
more in focus
more aware
more awake
i listen
i choose
i act
and the pain melts away into the loving support i give myself
my body screaming out for attention - feel me feel me now!!!
