One of Benjamin's favorite quotes is:"I thought
If I made it
If I walked away
There would be nothing left
And I believed the cost of survival to be
Immediate - absolute
As if I might close my eyes at some final injustice
And withdraw
But this raging debt I have incurred
It wakes me
It stops me
Twisted determination folds into lines of worry on my face
Because I'm waiting
Always looking for the joke
I slipped into the cogs of my present chaos
Hoping they wouldn't notice that I'm a broken gear
I could never move the machine
Could never hol...Expand for more
d what I hope for
When I take up so much space
Obscured
I forget that I'm real
I can't see who I am
Small bones so I can hide with myself
I need to know that I am not extra
When all that I am
Marks everything
And means nothing
Because I tell him -
I love you
But I can't touch you
-------------------------
These memories have a
Painful beauty
Bright and haunting
Saturated with purpose
There are some things we shouldn't save. Things that should only exist in their own time.".
More about Benjamin:"This is the best thing I've ever done - I gave birth to my son 2/21/11!!! Thanks to my beautiful midwife, Christy, I had a transcendent birth experience in a labor pool in my own home. I was blessed with new life and abundant love. Our family has been constantly surrounded by an embrace I never believed possible. In a world where we don't quite fit, a community has come together to help us make a home. Thanks for the support!".
