The air thick as an Alaskan morning from the incoming sea fog. They wandered blindly through it without worry or concern. Their bodies floating in unison.

I love that you left pussy on there ..: there is a phenomenal book called Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer that invites us to reclaim the word … to see it’s beauty and honor it as women especially… whore doesn’t bother me though … it used to but it can also be an archetype… a playful, seductive side of the feminine archetype that is more raw, wild, sexual for her partner … but never as a derogatory put down … words have the meaning we give them ….
And I love that you are spending time removing or covering up words you feel may dishonor others ..: that is truly beautiful
Angela, thank you for your note! I’ve always been aware of “words” and how they can be used to uplift or tear down. Therefore, it comes pretty natural to take action when words like whore pop out to me. I appreciate your take on “pussy”. I see it as one of those words that has often been used to tear down men, and as being derogatory towards a woman. BUT, I don’t think it has to be that way. When people are together, sexual partners, they choose what words to use. I think this word can be wild and fun. I find it to be very important for couples to discuss “words” early on. Especially with trauma triggers. For instance, there are words for the penis that have been used in my past that caused a tremendous amount of pain. Teasing, and bullying around certain ways I looked. I have an abundance of joy for you as you have, and are, doing a lot of self-discovery in these important areas! Namaste, RLove
