Fair point from a fellow hugger and cheek kisser. Currently, I just prefer it before and after, not during. Then again, I’m working on practicing stillness and quiet which is impossible in the Novus Ordo.
I don’t want to debate the Mass, I’m just personally being called to more stillness and quiet. The last month, I’ve bowed my head at the beginning and been remembering my ballet training of how to stay still in a particular posture. I don’t respond except for the Creed and the Lord’s Prayer. I’m trying to follow the actual line of the prayers and really internalize them. The hustle and bustle of Novus Ordo makes it hard.
I also veil which as a middle age woman earns me a fair share of dirty looks from the Boomer women, though, a few have more openly supported me.

Peace be with you! And wear your veil! I highly recommend evintage veils on Etsy, she does beautiful work!
Love it! Mine are the long ones, I just love how they hang. I kid you not, I have 1 in every liturgical color.
