In our quests to change our bodies to suit our spiritual image of self, to differentiate from the masses or simply to decorate and ornament, there are those modifications that do not stay with us for the entire journey. Some of these are left by the wayside in favour of more extreme or less extreme mods, while others did not suit us in our journey as it was unfolding, or perhaps never should have been in the beginning. To these piercings is this temple dedicated, in order to remember the energy of self and spirit that went into the original perforinktions, though they are with us no more.
Those who openly grieve heal much faster than those who repress or avoid their feelings. The grieving process is nature's way of helping us heal. In fact, repression of feelings can cause bitterness that lasts a lifetime. "The only way out is through." You can only heal by feeling the depth of your loss and going through the grieving process.
