inny, outty, hotty, totty
are you an inny or outty? have you pondered the reality of the navel?
we all have one. it's evidence of our connection to our mother at one time. the receiving end of our nutrients to grow strong and healthy. at birth, it's snipped, leaving us with a few-inch long protrusion which eventually falls off, leaving the scar tissue that is the belly button.
apparently it's always been of some erotic appeal to someone somewhere, perhaps due to its location on the body, framed in a hotbed erotic zone by chest, stomach, hips, and pelvis. in the 1930s/40s, men in "proper" films who happened to be filmed with their shirts off, were to wear trousers that belted above the navel. no navel-gazing in these films since we all know how women fawn over the belly button, you see.
now it's common place for the navel to be displayed and adorned. low-riders cut down to the hipbones and below are providing a frame of sorts to that place where we were first attached to our mother.
all of this contemplation is to say, it's an amazing thing how God orchestrated the human body with first the humanity of conception and birth, and secondly, a resulting mark from that birth that will forever link us to the woman who sheltered our growing body for 9+ months.
i wonder what mark reflects our relationship with our heavenly Father?
