Skip to primary content. Playin’ In A Travelin’ Band. Voices On The Wind. March 20, 2013. This is a poem about body image, body hatred, and exploring sexuality with a new lover while wrestling with those . and losing. I asked for the lights out. Hidden beneath piles of your blankets,. I wasn’t strong enough to let you undress me. When your hand accidentally pushed the fabric aside. Exposing my stomach to the dark of your room,. I snapped out of the moment with you;. That precious, much anticipated moment,.

Smoke Among the Trees. 8220;I am still fascinated with stories of survivors of all things, refugees, endangered species that reemerge, the ways that a burned and scorched forest yields seedlings.”. 8211; Gerri Rayvn Stanfield, “ Sing Us Back to Life. Like Gerri, I too have survived intense and difficult times (and corresponding depression) and have friends who have endured the same.

Breaking the shell | Love's Warriors
http://loveswarriors.com/index.php/2013/10/14/breaking-the-shell
There’s an emotional shell that forms from the repeated judgements, the invisible cultural barriers, and the demands to “stay in your place”. It can become painful and reactive, tired of always protecting the tender person within. It’s the shell around a heart and the shell around a community. As without, so within. “Less than” is a story we also tell ourselves. We’ve all held someone else back and we’ve all held ourselves back. This binds us all. Where can we find liberation?

Manifesto | Love's Warriors
http://loveswarriors.com/index.php/manifesto
I have many friends who are on a warrior’s path. They train hard, choose what they eat, discipline their thoughts, and support each other through it all. Each and every one is magnificent, whether beginning the path or well-established on their journey. They are. 8220;you’re not a real warrior, there’s no point to keeping up the diet”. And the diet goes by the wayside the next day too. Struggle at a workout and ego will dredge up every memory of weakness it can to drag you off the path. Ego is a ...Ego i...

Reflections on 30 years as a potter: observations, questions, learnings. ALTERING POTS ON THE WHEEL: FLUID, FLOWING, FLIRTATIOUS, FLOURISHING, FUN, FAST AND FIGURATIVE. Kintsugi: Gold Repair of Ceramic Faults. April 18, 2013. In 1999 I traveled to Japan to participate in several exhibitions hosted by my dear friend Mr. Shiho Kanzaki. I arrived with gifts for all the many people that were required to make this amazing opportunity a reality for me. Remarkable: gifting back to me, the cups I’d brought as gi...

Touching the Wound | Love's Warriors
http://loveswarriors.com/index.php/2013/03/21/touching-the-wound
Einstein said that every object bends space and time around itself. Something that comes into its influence sees itelf as moving in a straight line, but everyone else sees it curving. In the same way, a deep wound can bend both emotions and actions into orbit around it not just the emotions felt in the wound, but actions that often recreate and sustain the original injury. Look inward, softly. See that wounded part floating gently in space. Let love gently infuse around and through that center. Slowly an...
