Listening for the Voice of the Body
It has taken me longer than I intended to post another chapter from my book draft–but here it is!
It fits in well, I think, with this whole thread of attention I’ve been exploring in the past month. Sometimes it makes sense to listen to the voices around us–all the people and characters–and birds! this morning such a racket of birds!–that inhabit our worlds. Other times the body clamors to be heard. It needs to be heard. It demands to be heard. Our own bodies like the call of birds at the window. Pay attention! Pay attention! Pay attention!
So here tis. Chapter 5 of One Year of Writing and Healing:
Listening for the Voice of the Body
Much thanks to those who gave permission for their stories to be told within. I am deeply honored and grateful.
