“In these times breasts are discussed in the 3rd person as if a woman is detached from the vitality of her essence. Scientists, doctors, plastic surgeons, men, health officials, talk show hosts, journalists, parents, and the media do not speak of the relationship of the woman’s triangle. Their thoughts are not intertwined with this geometry. Who has heard the language of the breasts, the vagina outside of anger, desire, denial, or the self-contempt that tinges the decisions to augment the breasts? Our children gain understanding of the breasts, the vagina, and the womb from long distances away from the sacred text of body, the sacred relationships that hold life together in a stream of consciousness in a woman’s body. Sex is introduced or intuited through fear, and shame and because shame, and fear passes for education children grow up, not with a sense of the divine, but with judgment, and consequences, and a vision of their sexual urges in league with death; their death! In this context children’s field of vision around the body, the soul, the spirit of women, is as narrow as the religious constructs of the Church in America, and the mosque in Islamic countries.” ©Gregory E.
