HNT-Rebirth

Yes, I know the folks who know me well never thought they'd ever see this amount of my skin. Pick your jaws up off the floor and pop your eyes back into your skulls. If you really know me, you know I wouldn't do this gratuitously.

All over the shock now? Good. Then read on.

Life has been one way for a long time. It's begun to get cramped. I feel pressed on every side and something has got to give. At the same time, there is safety here in the womb. It's warm. I am provided for. There is a steady rhythm beating in the background. It's cold outside the womb and there is nothing to protect me. But outside I can continue to grow and develop as I should. I don't know when the exact moment will come. It may take several pushes. I will probably do some screaming or crying at the very least...but I think a rebirth may not be far off.



The sidebar link will tell you who gave birth to HNT and how to play along. Happy HNT!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And yes, my jaw dropped. You will come through this rebirth with strength and dignity. The world outside may be cold compared to this one, but it will also be a breaking free of a prison of sorts. You will do fantastically. When you feel the push, come out into the world kicking and screaming and announcing your presence.

Beautifully powerful pic. I think we all just need to curl up in the proverbial womb sometimes.

Great HNT to you.

James Goodman said...

Wow, that's a powerful image, both the picture and the words. I hope the world that greats you on the other side embraces you warmly.

A heartfelt HNT!

Awesome, madame Lime.
Sometimes growth requires change, and I know with a conviction I save for a few really important things, that you, my dear, are strong enough to do whatever must be done.

Lime you are ... stunning. That is a beautiful post. I bought a bouquet of japanese Irises for the house one day. They were closed so tightly you could have fit them through an old-fashioned keyhole. When they bloomed their petals reached out to unimaginable lengths. They quadroupled in size. I see a growth spurt in your future. Oh and by the way, your ass is scorching. If you do make this into a poster I would buy a signed copy to hang in my den. HHNT Gorgeous.

Lime,

You're gorgeous!

Keep us updated on the rebirth, as it's something I'm looking into myself I find it intriguing that someone else out there may be thinking along the same lines that I am.
