LesbosOnTheCouchby Beth C, one of the Lesbos
The length of my arm is about the length of my 2
boobs…and the length of both of my arms is filled by four boobs. These four
boobs are mine and my love's….
The other evening my love and I and about 250 other
woman danced and danced and danced and then danced some more…
There are many ways that I define myself…I am a
woman. I am a lesbian. I am not young. I am not old. I am a little tea pot,
short and stout. I have many handles and indeed, a spout or two. I am a
spiritual being. I believe in God and I love the life I've been given and the
love I have…
Out of my spout – I pray. Prayer is a big part of my
life. Sometimes I feel that life is made up of prayer. It is as if I could just
find the right prayer in and for any given moment, then all is right with my
world. I pray in the morning. I pray
when I get in the car. I pray when I am at work. I pray while I work. I pray
when I eat, I pray when I sleep. My thoughts are prayers and my actions reflect
my own personal prayer. Not very many understand or see my prayer…or know my
secret -my life as prayer.
The other night, as we all danced and danced…I felt
truly blessed. I looked around; I took a deep breath…every breath was a
blessing – every step, every jump, every wiggle and shake was a prayer, every
song brought joy and togetherness and a unity that was so very special…it can
only be described as prayer. And the prayer brought about the blessing which
was and is the unity of the women, united in dance.
Dance and prayer…they go together…dancing with women
is very special. Women love and care, even on a subconscious level. When I
started sneezing…there were wave after wave of ''L'abriut! Lábrout!" –
This is what we say, not 'Bless you – but 'to your health.' Women, whether or not they are aware of it,
bring about prayer into their daily lives; it is part of our identity. It is
one of those things that unite us…and make us whole and fill our breasts with
air and life…It is one of our blessings – whether or not we choose to recognize
it and acknowledge its existence
Women
There are many ways that I define myself. I am a
woman. How do I define women? Women are love. Women are warm. Women are strong.
Women are life force. Women are a prayer. And together women are a blessing. We
are a blessing and we are blessed
The length of my arms can hold four boobs…and this
is my own blessing…and I pray that you too can feel this blessing of fullness
and love.
