Meditation 5: Bodies are Cool.

Hi Y’all,

Here’s Meditation #5, which goes along with Infusion #5, which is all about body betrayal, forgiveness, neutrality, and acceptance. This has been a major theme for me during treatment, especially post amputation. The place I have gotten to, or am still trying to get to, is this: Our bodies are cool because our bodies are our tools. I’m trying to focus on all of the things that I can do with my body in this moment instead of wishing for what was. Everyone’s body changes at some point. Everyone gets to decide how to respond to that change.

And I encourage you to check out the Infusion post, which features some words from the writer and activist Caitlin Breedlove regarding her own cancer experience, and her relationship to her own body. Her words invite me to consider new ways of seeing these vessels that we inhabit.

Until soon, sending love,

Kelly
