Dethroning The Patriarch: From Where Do You Return?

Emboldened to speak, a young and brave-hearted man leaves the safety of his mother’s arms and moves toward the king: I believe you are confused, king, the young one says. You have no entitlement. Is your lingam proof of ownership over every female body? I, poor king, am a man, but we are not of ...

Why You’d Want To Replace Your ‘Should’ With ‘Could’.

You may note that by simply using the word could, your internal conversation changes. It is not necessarily positive, but you don’t need it to be.

I believe that at our core is Love, but in many people there’s a thickly layered protective encasing made up with fear-based complexities: insecurities, unworthiness, self-judgment, self-loathing even, embarrassment, shame, guilt, horror at shadow self -- many, many unnecessary entrapments that ...

These Days, It’s Not Flattering To Be Me. {poetry}

The Relative Lightness That Surrounds.
