I Began To See My Body Like

I Think The Greatest Illusion We Have Is That Denial Protects Us. It's Actually The Biggest Distortion And Lie. In Fact, Staying Asleep Is What's Killing Us.

I Feel Sometimes With Boys That The Tyranny Of Patriarchy Has Had A Much More Devastating Blow On Boys Than It Has On Anyone. Because They Have Literally Been Forced To Disassociate From Their Hearts.

What Happened With Cancer Was That I Just Became A Body. There Was Nothing Else But Body For A Month. I Was Chemo'd And Operated On And Cut And Poked. At First It Was Really Horrifying And Scary, And Then It Was Just,wow. You're In Your Body. This Is Body!

Denial Is Really Death. People Think That When You're Connected With Other People It's More Painful. The Opposite Is True. When You're Connected To The River You Have Despair, But You Also Have Joy, And There's A Flow In The River.

Cherish Your Solitude. Take Trains By Yourself To Places You Have Never Been. Sleep Out Alone Under The Stars.
