This piece is lovely. As I get order, I’ve come to realize how important our bodies are for daily functioning. I was a ballet dancer in my younger years and thinking about the amount of stress, pain, and suffering I put my body’s through makes me cringe now.
I’ve been following your work for a while now, and while not directly related to this particular theme, I think my most recent post might resonate with you:
Yes chronic pain is exhausting..... sciatic pain can be quite painful......you seem to be doing everything you need to do.......my situation, however, is different....at 67 I have abused my body with obsessively scrubbing floors on my hands and knees, lifting and moving heavy furniture, dancing, kick boxing, the list goes on....so I now have osteoarthritis everywhere, poss fibromyalgia, and rib pain from a fall ...let's not forget OCD and plain ole stress.. Major anxiety disorder....I won't bore you anymore, but I also feel like my body has betrayed me....I hope with time and work we both can overcome......peace ✌️
