1. Why Should We Want To Live Inside Ads?
As you are getting ready to leave work for the day, I
wanted to share with you a few stanzas from a poem
I heard yesterday evening that really impacted me.
It's from a poem called "What Are Big Girls Made Of?"
by Marge Piercy. It is beautiful to hear audibly. You
can view Piercy's site at
www.margepiercy.com
There are a few places in this poem that are really
striking about how we as women, and I believe men
too, live in an unnatural way in order to be admired
by others, especially the opposite sex. We really can
be so inhumane to our bodies.
I'll let you read for yourself. And if you desire to read
the whole poem, do a search for the title. Let me
know what you think.
