A PARABLE OF FAT'S CREATION
by Gil Hedley, Ph.D.
And creating them in Her own image and likeness, Goddess says, "Let there be fat.""
And there is fat, to envelope and warm the whole bodies of the man and the woman. To both of them are given this great gift, in different measure, according to their particular perfections.
To the woman, in greater measure is fat given. A mantle of sensitivity and sensuality Goddess grants her in this luminous fleece beneath her skin.
The lines of her form are thus distinguished from the man's, augmenting her breasts and hips and belly and bottom, rooting her thighs like trunks to earth's molten core, rich stores of yellow sap just below her surface.
Here she finely attunes her perception of everything and everyone around her - the movement of the animals, the sounds of the night, the order of the stars, sun and moon, the cycling of the seasons, and the echo of every beating heart, rippling subtle waves of feeling through the delicate, wise web of listening flesh.
Here she embeds the wisdom of "Her will be done" with all that she senses and knows.
Adorned with her bright yellow dream coat, the woman dances; her form flies, undulates, and rolls, mapping stories in space, stirring the hearts and minds and bodies of all who dare move with every morsel of her now.
Gil Hedley, Ph.D.
