My year in verse

Untitled (From the Rapture series) by Shirin Neshat.
My beloved grandmother always said, "Nothing is true until it is experienced." This year I set out to discover what the word "intimacy" meant to me and how I could use it as a compass. As a result, I experienced ways of being and parts of self that have been buried for a very long time. I'm still in the thick of excavation, but these are some of the things I learned in the process. Not quite affirmations, these short verses emerged as a kind of manifesto, a declaration of desires, a map to a new way of relating to myself and others.
