The Tyranny of Normal
Each body is normal in relation to itself, despite the myths we persist in believing against all evidence.
Each body is normal in relation to itself, despite the myths we persist in believing against all evidence.
When we allow all our conflicting feelings to be present, drop what isn't ours, and imagine the problem is already solved, we can emerge into new terrain.
Suddenly we are defiantly thirteen, or playfully four, or speechlessly afraid when we would prefer to be competent adults.
In the face of non-response, we can choose to inquire, wait, or write off the interaction.
It is healthy to value your own viewpoint, no matter how personal and emotional.
Whether you sleep or not, night can be a time for rest, contemplation, and listening inside.
Our legs are on our sides, like our arms, and start above the hip crease.
There is no tone calm enough to express uncomfortable truths to someone with the power to refuse to hear.
Our arms are structured to fluidly express our physical boundaries.
When we trust our structure, our whole body relaxes, expands, and breathes more easily.
