So much to love here, Shawndra. I, too, would disappear from my friend's birthday parties only to be found on the back porch with the dog or cat. And, I, too, am paying attention to my nervous system which seems to have been ramped up these last few weeks. I love your somatic therapy vision. I had a similar insight myself recently - about swords and boundaries. How funny. Now if I can use it to stay off twitter all will be well :) Perhaps I need more cat videos. :)
That's wild that you also had a sword insight, Patricia! I know what you mean, it's easy to ignore the wisdom of the sword... Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Excellent post— bringing us all to the wisdom and truth of the mammalian nervous system. Fern Kitty curled up next to me while I was reading.
We just recently provided Annie Pup with a little bed in the kitchen so she won’t be so underfoot while waiting for scraps. We gave her a boundary so we can all get along better.
My image lately is being at the center of a giant flower of life—it provides a protective and love-connected container while calming and nourishing me.

That is so beautiful! Feels so feminine too. Hm, my sword is quite yang!
