Kiran Nagarkar’s legacy is making me ponder questions of dignity.
August, Leo month, brought me back to life, piecing together from debris, things I’ve never owned.
I don’t want to be good at letting people hurt me. I’m pondering the word ‘boundaries’.
When people say the word ‘love’, I usually recoil. I say that’s a real big word, one I don’t really know how to say. My language is rooted in past experiences & it pulls up memories of difficult feelings when it registers the word love. And then there are moods…
I woke up two nights ago, not knowing why I was awake. No sound had disturbed me, it wasn’t time to wake up.
A tooth extraction and some ouch ouch instead of wisdom.
Before we know, all these dots connect and we reach one of the extremes !!
