Letter # 95 - Who Would You Be If You Were Free?

Hello Bregdan Woman,

You have Suess today…

Today, I decided to share a more deeply personal writing. One that reveals a consistent theme of struggle for me. A writing that reflects our American culture which has not quite embraced the duality of me.

By writing out loud --as I think of others when they read my work aloud – by writing I give voices to multitudes that remain silent. I utter aloud fears and hopes held mute by multitudes.

As a Bregdan Woman, I stand united with you to recognize our choices ripple, flow, move, heave and wave thru time. As a Bregdan Woman, I chose how I shall live. For those of us who do not ascribe to nor correspond to the conventional definitions of female, this one is for you!

You are a Bregdan Woman.

Today, I ask one simple question of you, my beloved reader: who would you be if free?

who would I be if free of labels of Female ~ labels of Male?

by suess

who would I be if free?

uncontrolled from society, culture, mandates?

who do I resemble on the inside?

where do I fit?

how do I identify?

I am not the child longing for balls, tools, dirt, wind

I am not the teen which awkwardly struggled to resonate as F

I am not the remains of the young adult forced to reject M

I am not the pregnant wife pondering the invisible lives carried within

I am not the busy mother of three doubting the F within her body

I am not the aging mother of adult children silently speculating her dual interior

the F & M interior

labels of Female ~ labels of Male –

each

contain nuggets of truth –

truth = exact identical to the rumors which originated in myself

all spoken lies. . .

snippets of truth float currently inside my psyche and create odd

perplexing self-spoken ruminations

M & F exist conjoined

neither subsist unaided

neither subsist alone

simultaneous recognition flows freely loosening shackles –

censoring conventionality with M & F

I release the puritanical notions of singular gender

with M & F residing –now in sync in my spirit ~

I embrace duality

I coexist in M

I stay in F

I dive into deep dichotomy

I surface uninhibited uncontrolled honest liberated

who I would be now? free? free from society, culture, mandates parallel me. . .

I

would be

me. . .

not F

not M

but:

me

me equals:

two in one life

two in one mind

two in one spirit

two in one soul

two in one body = me. I am me
