Women, Boobs, Prayer and The Blessing We Share

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.
