Meta Smeltics.

I used to wish myself wispy.

There were days - when I was very young and apologetic about feeling awkward with my womanly body - when substantial, or presence, or "robust" seemed words more appropriate to …..someone else, that didn't want to be Twiggy. I wanted to be Twiggy.

Twiggy has to be explained to some girls...mostly blue collar, strangely. The other collars have to be coached to eat: the oddest dichotomy in a world of plenty, in a veritable insanity of .
Reversed irony.

I grew into my breasts - the symbol and signatory mothering indicator, corporeally, of God;
bestowed upon woman with bodily inhibitor and functions tasked with
Continuance.

Eventually women learn that the size of them is irrelevant. Men learn this, too. This comes with a respect for the sacredness of the human body, as vessel, rather than an idea about its ideal.

Women spiritually and physically despise themselves when there is a meltdown in this area, as a result:
by default, programming - and an excruciating acknowledgement of a part of themselves dying, unknown, (though felt). For some, it is breast. For some, it is embryonic extension. For some, it is the loss of self within layers of soft and comforting flesh, in which self is lost, and there is safety from pain. 

The self loss is wordless, faceless, and leaves a chasm - in miniature.

Nothing fills it: food, drink, toning, pummeling (by yourself and others), proper diet, getting over it, under it, on top of it, beside it, around it....you have an area of space that inhabits you, inside, afterwards. Space: as in.....elsewhere. You connect to all the universe, through loss and the reopening of yourself to Nothingness. Even when the loss is automatic, instantaneous, triggered, accidental, occidental, or expected....Space and You are One.

This is how I know that there is much beyond this life, and that there is God.

Beyond this Strange Pain, there is inexplicable Comfort that is internal balm, realized. Even when it is not your fault, you can Forgive
Your own
Imperfection, and "Gestational Retardation" - (as in, "the ability to do so" -  a kinder accusation, recalled and uttered by what I now refer to as "The Deceased Causal Factor")
and Live.

There are those who love Space, too.. It is what is unseen that they love, and recognized, instinctively and inexplicably, when there is genuineness beyond the carbon-based urgings.

This, too, is from God: two splices of God, remelding. Many welders like this analogy.

I call it "Metallica Love"...without a hint of rancor or dyslexia.

Here endeth the Smelting Moment. Long live Metallurgy.

The Story of GOOD FRIDAY

New Testament:

1. PETER -  Chapter 2,  Verses 22 and 23  

2. MATTHEW   Chapter 26,  Verses 1 - 75       and
                           Chapter  27,  Verses 1 - 66

- These explain the events of Good Friday, and Christ's Passion. You may never have really read the story before, though you thought you knew it. It will shock you.

…..This Good Friday, reread "the story like no other", as we approach the Passover, and Easter, with new eyes made thoughtful,  by the acts of a Man - a Being -  like No Other.

flying thought for the day

"For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control." 2 Tim.1.7

Boo ya.

Promise

Oh, wondrous spring!
The sleepy headed jut of tulip shoot edging forth,
Sworded leaf bursting bonds of winter sleep,
Cradling the gentle egg of petals
Yet unfurled, and eager
For Light and
Life.
