Sharing my Practice Today

Today amid the maelstrom of media and the currents of fear floating around me, I find that I must meditate and flow into my heart.

Flowing into and opening my heart I can find the spot that is away from the sadness, fear and anger and fan the flames around the place in my heart that is full of love.

From this place in my heart I can find myself in a more neutral territory.

From this more neutral territory I can find the place to offer a kind ear, a loving hand, compassionate care and joyful empathy.

Yoga tonight was a wonderful experiment and a lovely flow into the body as well as spirit. With Breath, movement, stretch and focusing in… the body and spirit opens.  -♥-

The class for me, was an emotional voyage as I can feel the Awaken Studio becoming a Temple, Sanctuary, a Tabernacle for spirit. There is something for me that is very special as we who gather, create: space, community and synergistic QUEER energy that can bring PEACE to the world and PEACE to the individuals who share practice, community and space together. -♥-

PROUD that we welcomed a man who is both deaf and blind. What a wonderful powerful moment. Welcoming a man who has never felt a part of. Honouring him and being gifted by him as we all shared space and practice. -♥-

I am so glad that the Awaken Studio can welcome so much diversity. I am so glad and I am so gifted the the men of youth and the men of age, the men of colour and the men of big and the men of small, the men of short and the men of tall. All men are welcome and when all me gather we can create MAGIC. I am so glad that we can all gather peacefully together. -♥-


Thanks to out leader, Gregory Saliba for sharing his gifts and his light.  -♥-

I know that I will certainly sleep more peacefully tonight.-♥-

Glitter, Quantum Sex, Radical Authenticity
Queer Heart Talking Circle at the Awaken Studio

I feel so great…
There might be the possibility of a RADICAL shift in ME!
Glitter, Quantum Sex, Radical Authenticity…
Smiling Contented Satisfied
After the circle gathered and spoke, shared
After the Magic of the talisman and the gathering of GLITTER
After the circle closed in frivolity, laughter
After the walk over to our house
After sitting and sharing a meal
After gabbing and teasing and more laughter
The boys gone home,
The dishes done

Looking forward to the next gathering,
Looking forward to the next opening
Looking forward to the next time my heart will melt and flood everything and everyone around me with LOVE.
