I hadn't read "Plural". Last time I checked there was only "mother tongue". I just did today. Your words are a pleasure to my mouth, as I pronounce them. The images almost virginal in their purity. And lucid. I love lucidity that is also imaginative. We appreciate what we lack.
You wonder whether I appreciate life more for experiencing the cramps of the menstrual cycles. Yes, I do, and at such moments I also consider that it may be worth while to bring a child in this world, to experience the pleasure of such pains and torment. Yes, physical pain and suffering are indispensable. It is the stuff learning is made out of! Nothing expands my consciousness (to borrow your term which I find well-conceived and very apt) better than suffering does. And pain can be very pleasurable in a way that I myself don't consider twisted or kinky or degenerate, but I know many do. A clue to my increasingly s/m tendencies: pain as the most powerful agent to awakening us to our own bodies, to getting us in touch with them in more mysterious and profound ways, ways which at least I cannot explain, nor need to. Usually this kind of 'discovery'--that you could actually enjoy the physical pain inflicted upon your body by a lover, though not only by a lover or necessarily in such a context-is limited to those trapped within [or liberated through] the same experience. It is becoming more obvious to me these days that there is something almost self-evident about s/m relationships between individuals who also like and are capable of physically getting drunk on each other: they involve an immense energy, passion for life, and a craving for extending the boundaries in how close people can get to one another and thereby rediscover themselves. This may be my stuttering attempt to agree with you that nothing public is worthwhile. Indeed.
