24 Women Bare Their Scars To Reveal The Beauty In Imperfections"It's a reminder that we can heal no matter what happens to us." 26/08/2015 6:39 AM AEST | Updated August 27, 2015 00:38
http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/entry/women-bare-their-scars-to-reveal-the-beauty-in-imperfections_us_55db32f1e4b0a40aa3ab6ae5?section=australia DAMON DAHLEN/HUFFINGTON POST My scars are a part of me -- something that I have lived with over for many years. I feel as if they are visible reminders of my life long physical and emotional challenges. When I was young my scars defined me. As an adolescent, it was difficult to deal with all the emotions and restrictions that came with my illness. My scarred body was part of that package. As I started dating, I would use the person's reaction to my scars and my medical history as a reflection of his character, but I was also very self-conscious. As I've grown older, my scars are the least of my problems. --Robin, 55
All I Imagined
To be in the present moment to plan here and now to feel the power to feel the suns energy penetrating absorbing nurturing a solar experience mixed with water sounds of rushing water thunder by while a small tweet or chirp of a bird sound from afar. Wind blows slow ripples lake or pond it’s all I imagined magical and powerful it nourishes and strengthens me as I move through my own rhythms and find deep satisfaction. Beyond a world filled with stuff to do I am here sitting or expelling with stuff creating energy sitting or laying as days go by I here (hear) tap tap tap of stone being carved and my desires as my desires to dance energy dies for lack of physical safety. For stone its for always for dance I do not know... Alive with dreams steady chirp of bird I see or not find solace in the solitude I sit or lay or move upon these grounds. Images and impressions and notes that I’ve noticed darkness of wet wood has less appeal than before secret code of speaking energy flying up and down as a car goes by very infrequently and the brook babbles stream moves water from the rain and the waterfall has arrived as promised. No disappointment,all that I’ve imagined for myself. Solitude and solidarity the part of me is in you as generations set us apart yet passion keeps up together. Sending or souring (soaring) by with brain intents. My brain thinks in starts and stops now I find a voice that simplifies the chaos the staticness from motions Artist and physicists Science and art fascinating many opportunities for those that know their needs and find what they need. Water seeks its own level – an expression I’ve thought about lately... |
