I wonder if I'll have any other sea or deep water dreams?

"Diving into the Wreck" by Adrienne Rich

I think women who felt traumatized by people who've also been traumatized by the patriarchy but are acting it out in a different way can get some very isolated feelings. Well, maybe there's other people who are better at feeling really empowered by bravely exploring the difficult stuff, but I do feel you have to be willing to go on your own to take a certain path sometimes, and I don't think I'm totally alone in feeling this. That's partly why I think a poem like 'Diving into the Wreck" exists.
