Lets see, what should I write about this? Well, it sure is a sexy picture. This Tibetan Sky Dancer is full blooded, both ethereal and earthy.
Sex is essential, I believe that joy is our true and rightful goal.
Not porny sex. Not the mechanical production of sticky bodily fluids. Not puritan sex. No repression or guilt. Culturally we went from one extreme to another in the last half of the nineteenth century. Prude sex to porn sex in fifty years or less. Is it possible to be sane about sex?
We create joy by truly, softly and fiercely connecting with another person. Letting down our guard, opening the gates to another being. Shedding the carapace of ego and stroking a cascade of pleasure chemicals. And don't forget to enjoy the afterglow.
Here we are, bound up in these flesh bodies, bound by social rules, bound and determined to come out on top. Constricted by the binding of sad little egos. Our spirits bandaged with fear.
Good love making, creating cocktails of pleasure juices to wash the body from inside out, can loosen and even break the shackles constricting our being.
Ro Abreu Poetry
Here are two beautiful poems by my friend Ro Abreu. She says it so well.
Tantra
I am holding out my hand to you.
I am the Earth…
I am your Goddess Lover
I am deep, and warm, and as fertile
as the longest of your full night dreams --
naked as the Moon,
blinding as the Sun,
more intoxicating than swallowing Stars.
If you touch me,
you will know what it means to be alive --
you will understand how the rhythm of your breath
is the axis upon which Eternity spins.
The fire of inspiration
waits, banked, to light our joining.

Elixir
I have wanted you
like cool water
and you have been
that draught for me
You are a shiny thing
hidden in the bottom of the glass
that hypnotizes me
and makes me forget
where I am going
For a moment
I can imagine having you
I can indulge myself in the fantasy
before what is interrupts what might be
I have told myself again and again
to open up my fingers
even if the glass breaks
and yet, I keep drinking
because you are the elixir and the jewel
so satisfying, so beautiful
