To: To my body, after the mastectomy
Metta (Buddhist)
March 1, 2026
I forgive you for getting sick. I forgive myself for blaming you. The scar runs from sternum to armpit. I have stopped covering it in summer. Metta — may this body be safe. May it be happy. May it be healthy where it can be. May it live with ease in the parts that still work, which are most of them.
