Kat has written another post about the healing process she’s experiencing for her vaginismus. The fact that this is a rare dysfunction (less than 2% of the female population) is what makes Kat’s blog posts so important. More information is needed, and blogging is a remarkable way to disseminate it. I also found the quote at the beginning of this entry compelling:

St. Francis called the body “Brother Donkey” for the way it patiently carries the overload of our psychic baggage, our unprocessed pain, and our unfelt emotions. Incorruptibly truthful and innocent, the body is a great spiritual teacher and a powerful catalyst for transformation. As an agent of the soul it may insist that we heal our wounded psyche, even when the conscious mind resists with all its might.
