Digestion and Memory

I’m aware of the fact that when the stomach is digesting

the body pulls all of the energy needed from else.where (?) to ensure this can happen.

something similar happens with traumas.

the spirit and body (they are quilted) pull all of the energy needed from else.where (??) to digest.

to keep itself moving.

releasing.

shitting.

flushing.

washing.

I can tell you of the day I learned what the word “fiesty” meant when Ms. rosemary called my house and described me as it! (i’ve never feared a bully)

I can tell you where My grandmother would (try to ) hide her sewing scissor from us.
