I Took It To Heart

My Father Was A Classical Pianist, And My Mother Was A Singer Of Just About Everything.

I Used The Physical Scar Of My Breast Cancer Operation, The Scar That I Have Across My Chest As A Metaphor For All Kinds Of Scars.

You Know, When I Was Diagnosed With Breast Cancer In 1997 I Realized I Had Spent Too Long Arranging My Attitude.

My Scar Is Beautiful. It Looks Like An Arrow.

I Grew Up Not Understanding What Was True And What Was Not True. It Gave Me A Sense Of Unreality. I Was Told That This Man [mom's Lover] Was Not My Mother's Lover - When He Was. I Was Told He Was There As A Male Babysitter For My Brother So That He Would Learn Sports And Other Manly Things.
