Your body is a precious delicate instruments-- a Cathedral.
Love your body sweet Maidan care, for it let it be fragrant with health, clean as mountain brook.
Let it singing with the little joy of life! Let it dance to your young days drinking the sunshine.
Love your body, it is the cradle for new generation!
______
When you are a polyamorous reader, you crave a little something in between thick books. Something you can finish in fifteen minutes and something that makes you smile wickedly because it tinkers your brain.
A collection called Alphabet of Love, filled with beautiful illustrations and honey soaked words, which are also happily dipped in patriarchy. Most of the words are directed towards a sweet Maidan, who is to love her husband, be a sunshine to him when he returns home tired, focuses on the importance of marriage and is anti divorce.
Well it's an old book, once priced rupees six, so I am assuming it's from the 50's hence I shall take the advice of the pieces I loved, the ones I shared and drink my turmeric milk and gawk at the beautiful art by Pat Stewart and debate if I should look for the compiler/writer called Solar Forst on Wikipedia.
And yes it's one of my favourite @peter_pauper_press books to look at!

This books was literally an “ode” to women and their emotional labor!
Women must be “tidy and gentle” gag me with a spoon. “A man must be obstinate sometimes, but girl should never be!” Cringe.
The description for knot made my eyes roll to the back of my head.
His description of divorce was something… me thinks someone is a little bitter.
Don’t get me started on Unfaithfulness…
The description for Women literally made me say “oh, fuck off. This guy sucks.”
a man describing love… it’s exactly what you’d expect. Expect women to save the world with love, gentleness and silence with little to no help from men. Gross.

I actually read Alphabet of Life, but it doesn't show up in the search. I still want to mark my reading of the book. All my information and stars are for Alphabet of Life.
