Lots of feelings in the top of my scalp, the base of my stomach, and the smoky spot between nose/ear/tongue. She is so very honest about all the *bleh!* in her brain; it’s refreshing to feel so seen.

But also the feeling between the back of throat and ribs - when casually I get told a lie. God revealed himself as male. If he isn’t in control of anything enough to preserve his own testimony, he wouldn’t be God.
