A very good friend of mine lifted the phrase ‘livin’ in the skin’ from a former acquaintance of ours many years ago. Over the years she would toss this phrase out after explaining some complex living circumstance that befell someone she knew. Eventually I picked up the colorful expression.
‘Livin’ in the skin’ suggests some acceptance that what we go through in life is simply a part of bringing more soul into the body in our lifetime. It gives a solemn and artful nod to that which occurs that we at once withstand and which expands us all in the same moment.
