Today…

I am grateful for the crazy,wild and abundant thoughts that stream through my head.

I am grateful for the peaceful, soothing and rich thoughts that stream through my head.

I am grateful for my mind which cultivates that which dwells in my heart.

“And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

Today…

I am grateful for the passions in my life

  • Passion allows for me to be fervid in my devotions
  • Passion awakens my curiousity
  • Passion allows me to balance
  • Passion enlivens my life sense

I enjoy the vivid quality that passion brings to my life.

Without Passion in my life I have little vitality.

I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious.” ― Albert Einstein

Today…

My gratitude extends to the darkness.

  • Without the darkness I would no be able to see the light.
  • Without my looking at that which I do not want I would not be able to create that which I so desire.
  • Without my experiencing the pain I would not be able to experience the bliss.
  • Without imprisonment I would never be able to experience the ecstatic quality of freedom.

 

“I have to keep facing the darkness. If I stand tall and face the thing I fear, I have a chance to conquer it. If I just keep dodging and hiding it will conquer me.”  ― Mary Pope Osborne

Men 4 Men Touch Exchange at the Awaken Studio Toronto
-♥-
An amazing, wonderful, grace-filled, spacious, delight-filled, sensual and sensory afternoon. My heart opens and my spirit soars as I experience men caring for each other, touching each other and being real with each other.
-♥-
Wonder of wonders men comment on feeling peaceful, calm, fulfilled and these very men expressing surprise at feeling comfortable in a group of strangers. All as we gather together to hold each other in a kind, gracious and honouring light. This action lets me understand what reverence is.
-♥-
I am so very grateful for the Awaken Studio a place where all of this can happen. I am grateful for the adventurous, loving, kind and bold men who show up. I am grateful for those men: who do instead of talk, who create instead of watch, who dance instead of stand and who will sing instead of being silent. These men can touch one another and be graceful with one another, I am humbled by their dedication. I am utterly grateful for the community of lovers, adventurers and explorers that surround me.
-♥-
I am grateful and glad that I have to opportunity to hold the space for these events to happen right here on my front door in the space that I create and maintain. No need to travel across the country, or to a foreign land the dream is right here and we can have it all.
