We suffer physical ailments that parallel our emotional infirmities

Dear Howie,  This morning I woke up, luxuriating in the after glow of our intimacy last night, and thinking to myself what a lucky woman I am to have you at my side.

 

Your words last night rang even more true as I reflected on Cory’s situation.  It is so much easier to see what is going on in someone else’s life.  I was thinking about how Dr. Brian Weiss had made the conclusion that we suffer physical ailments that parallel our emotional infirmities.   Cory was living in the past; remembering a time when she was the center of attention, when she was supported by a group of friends and when she felt the safest and most cared about.  Now her aunt, the woman to whom she was most connected had died.  She said that she felt her aunt suffered to make the people in her life aware that they had taken her, always being there for them, for granted. This seems to illustrate that Cory felt her aunt was the one last person who supported her.  Now, Cory’s body, her feet, cannot support her any more either.   She may have to eat herself into obesity to make this a self fulfilling prophecy of being physically unsupported, but she will do that in order for her world to fit her view.

 

So easy… until I wonder at my own frailties.  My biggest fear is to fail.  To be unaware or oblivious of your needs and to fail you as a mate is my greatest fear.  To fall short of being able to change the situations that cause so many exotic cats to suffer keeps my heart pounding with anxiety.  Unconsciousness, fainting, falling, heart pounding anxiety of not being effective enough and strong enough to accomplish these goals… Sound familiar?  I wonder if seeing this so clearly this morning will enable me to overcome the physical weaknesses I have created for myself?

 

His response was brief, yet full:  All you have to do for me is be who you are.  That is what I love.

 

I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/

 

I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
