  Well, call me insensitive if you like, but I just spent the last hour constructing a nice response to Jeanne.
The adorable woman who helped me not only to write, but she helped me to write candidly about how Im feeling. Maybe this is a hold-over from such a teaching, but I still do value being able to speak my mind and from my heart. Tonights letter to her was a lot more heady. I wanted to relay to her how my experience in therapy with her enabled me a privy view into the workings of Woolf from a psychoanalytic point of view.
And it came out very easily, very comfortably, without an edit in the whole three pages. Hope the lengthy letter doesnt off-put said influence. But you know me; Im hardly brief, however concise. I asked her permission to post a picture of her thats up on (chiefly) her husbands website. Its a stunning image of her in sepia tones with fingers interlaced, face down and drawn inward. TBA. I walked to the mailbox to drop the letter, although Id already removed my brace to give it some air.
Nothing I was advised to do, but skin needs to breathe. And it needs to exfoliate, or so Im so rudely discovering. So I walked there carefully, never bending my ankle in any sort of toe-pointing position however much it itches to whilst in my brace. A car came to park in front of me, so I signaled him in. like Im going to run? Small chances Im taking, but I think somehow that I know my body better than my doc.
Hes never had the surgery, and he doesnt live within these walls. I do nothing thats painful. And I sure as shit will be moving this thing before prescribed to do so. Dont you think 14 weeks of immobility is a bit much? Not even my knee ligament tear elicited such care. Then again, I never had it surgically repaired.
Its after midnight, and Ive yet to get knee deep into the project Id proposed to myself hours before. The program I use to view and edit my images was locking up on me, both before and after a restart of the OS. I meant to upload this earlier so Ill do it now. And eliminate some of these larger linked images that distort my blog by taking up so much room. Check this out Im beside myself with this bit of portraiture.
