So You Want to Love a Goddess?

If you wish to love a goddess, love the fact that however she presents herself is only a small sliver of the kaleidoscopic creature she truly exists as. And this is the power of women: mystery. Magic. Creativity, sexuality, grace, strength -- the gift of witnessing what it means to be able to ...

New Moon in Leo: Lioness Lessons on the Strength of Heart.

Leo’s energies are guiding us to the warrior’s way of loving. The warrior has known suffering, but he keeps moving forward. The warrior doesn’t fight his own feelings or try to get rid of his pain. That would be a superficial way of handling things anyway. The heart always ends up winning our ...

Ghosting & Other Signs You’ve Already Left.

You continue to haunt the space of your relationship, but your partner eventually starts to move on without you because you’ve given them no other choice. You materialize from time to time, but the amount of time you spend in that world, and the strength of your presence, is not something that ...

This Is a Love Story Between a Buddhist and a Christian.

Ethics is the big overlap zone in the Venn Diagram of our marriage. Although we are altruists, we work in non-overlapping professional zones, and we are a part of non-overlapping worship communities. This separation of church and sangha, so to speak, insures that we live separate lives through ...

For the record: (Sunday morning wine and singing) + (Someone else only days later) = Disgusting behavior, unbecoming of a man that I would ever want to call my own. Everything disgusting about this? It’s on you. I am choosing the bright side of what we’re doing to each other. I love, I learn, I ...

In the buttery, iron taste of the aftermath, food will not fill me. A pill will not clear me of this, and sleep does not always lend itself to rest. The frothing surface of lingering promises shields the unknown sediment, sinking below. Every lie we tell ourselves haunts me, ripping apart my heart.

When I Say I Love You, What I Mean Is This. {poetry}

When I say I love you, what I mean is, I can feel you feel you on the inside, pulsing through my blood not the idea of you, but you as you are

Authenticity: Inhabiting Wildly Tender Revolution.

Congruent authenticity happens in the guts and bowels of your life. Being authentic is the grunt-work of the soul, of any deeply human, spiritual path. Being half here, half there, halfhearted, faking it to look good, strategizing to make things easier for your self — that’s the common way of ...
