This made me think of an old essay by Gloria Steinem, who saw the marks that life had left on women in the locker room at the gym (surgeries, stretch marks, etc.). All your scars, and your beautiful eye, and the beautiful eye you lost, are witnesses to events large and small in your life. The story they tell is a fierce and lovely one, like the fierce and lovely woman you are.
This was wildly intimate. Thank you for sharing it.
I have no words for what feelings your story evokes in me. Thank you for sharing.
