What I Can’t Understand
I am in a quandary of sorts. In between a feeling and a thought, not knowing where to go; what road to take in order to get to my destiny. I am almost stuck in a situation where confusion is my partner, both of us pretending to understand but in reality, we have no idea. We know how we feel and how much we enjoy spending time together but it is the moments where confusion stops and plays it’s role. He starts looking around and realizing there is a world of women, a sea of estrogen to be swum in. Then he looks to the little pond; being me. Can’t swim in a pond I suppose. Understanding I have a sea of testosterone surrounding me, I take dip after dip to get at the level he is in. I am not quenched, I am just left wet and cold. So now what happens? Almost drowning to be at his level, riding each wave to forget the last one that almost wiped me out. But I am still wet and indeed freezing. With no towel to dry off.
Womanifesto
I am a being of love. I cultivate the liberation of minds through shared stories. And I heal using touch, creation, and presence. I learn and teach heightening one’s experience of the now with both physical sensuality and enlightened consciousness. I constantly seek the limitlessness of my individuality, through the understanding that I only exist in oneness with all beings. I am the journey, the destination, and your companion.
i’m the kind of girl:
who will drive around with you and listen to your favorite cd, who will fold your clothes out of the laundry, who will sit and wait for you at the barbershop, who will stroke your ego when it needs to be lifted up, who will remember your short comings and not fault you at all, who will count the time that’s spent together even when you call. i’m the kind of girl who will be there for you through thick and thin, who will cook you salmon and potatoes au gratin, who will rub your back after a long day of work, who will bandage you up when you get hurt. that’s me.
