“The sadness of the human body. The human body, with its many indented, tender, vulnerable parts. I realized something with armpits. The chest.The groin. A body born to embrace someone, to desire to embrace someone.

It wouldn't have hurt or harmed me to do so.
I would have withstood it, survived it.”
