The Bellybutton!
Attachment IS Power. Why the navel—our body’s bull’s-eye—had to be trivialized. Here, seriously, a birth doula watches one becoming two, an artist reembodies the Western canon, three prayers you can actually say. Plus…Toni Morrison’s missing navel, the bellybutton in ancient rites, and how our bellyroots can save the planet.
