Paula Craig - The Privilege of Poop

2014-01-16

THE PRIVILEGE OF POOP The babysoft skin that needs you to caress with cleaning or it will sicken and hurt leads you to an intimacy unequaled in its depth even in intercourse where your own tissues are satisfied. The welcoming of helplessness draws from our minds the empathy that is Wisdom; the tender suffering in knowing that it will soon be absent – that welcoming. To share the smell, mess, work, revulsion, bacteria, irritation, relief – the paradox of privilege, intimacy rare and precious, grieved when it is gone. pcraig 1-16-14
