I grew up on a farm. It is a wonder
that as a child I didn’t have even more falls and injuries than I experienced. But
the injury I remember today is falling on my clitoris.
Several of my twelve siblings and I
were playing on a road grader. There is nothing cushiony or soft about a road
grader. There is no place to sit. There are sharp points all over it, in
addition to the sharp blades used to make the rough gravel roads smooth.
I was walking from the back of the
grader to the front when I fell on my clitoris. It felt like falling on a
knife. I got off and ran to the house screaming. My next memory is lying on a reclining
chair. I heard whispering. One of my sisters who had been out on the road grader
and probably saw what happened was whispering to another sibling.
I stopped crying long enough to let
it sink in that it probably had something to do with what part of my body was
injured. But no one came to see if I was okay.
Is it any wonder that as an adult,
I have been publicly talking and writing about healing the entire body,
including the genital area?
