"A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved."

"When we think we know someone, you see, we are already halfway to disappointment, and no one needs a head start on that."
- Karen Maezen Miller, “Hand Wash Cold” from The Best of Buddhist Writing 2011
"You begin to consider things you’ve never considered. You cringe when he calls other women beautiful. You wish to be those women, to feel his mouth praise you in such a way. You do things you’ve never done. He is unmoved. You become a woman in a way you’ve never been one before. You decide you can’t be anything to him. You can’t be on layaway. You’re no fool. You know a man can love you with the whole of his heart. You’ve had that before. You wipe him off the hand he didn’t hold. You learn not to give a fuck — with a smile and soft hand. You learn grace right before falling flat. You realize you made space for someone who didn’t move in. You realize that you requested too much. You realize that all good people don’t want to love like God. Some want to fix themselves first. Another man loves you. You apologize for not being available. You realize the man you loved just wasn’t available. Peace is around the corner of a ten-mile block, but you have good shoes. You’re on your way."

Fastest way to my heart is a creepy love note. (Taken with picplz.)
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.

My Prayer
I am more than capable of creating, walking, and paving this path for myself and those willing to join my journey.
I am creation. I am community. I am love.
I will find work that supports my survival in the system and the revolution of the system.
I am open to the money and resources I need to create and share.
I am beauty at its climax.
I am blessed to have energies surround me who compliment my soul—and I am open to meeting my balance, my counterpart.
I am liberation. I am ascension. I am.
"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you may murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. So it goes. Returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
