The Center – Juicy Heart

Posted: February 14, 2012 in Random

I began the process today of finding a home for “The Center”

This is exciting and opening to me. Even though it is scary and I am afraid of all of the old stories and all of the old movings of history. This is new and I am excited at the new. I felt brave and exhilarated when I began making calls.

The Center will be a place for erotic education and exploration. This space will be a gathering place and home for all who share an interest in furthering the connection and awareness of Eros, Passion, Desire and Spirit. The Center will be a ground for men in relationship to develop conversation and connection. This will be a place for men to find their truth in their body and to find their way into the manifestation of their humanity in awareness of their erotic and sexual self.

If any of you know of a space of about 1500 square feet in the downtown Toronto area that would be suitable for this new home let me know. phillip@phillipcoupal.ca

Joyful …

Playful…

There seems to be a simple joy in me. That part that wonders and plays and mucks about in creation. I live that part and wish that I could be in that part all of the time.Unfortunately I can only access that part of me some of the time, I can only remember that part is in me. I need to remember mor often and come into this Joyful, Playful part and get mucky more often.

LOVE the mucky, murky, joy in the play of creation…

and GO! – Juicy Heart

and on we GO! That word “ON” was very carefully chosen… Onward hoooo

Everything is full of contrast… light and dark, soft and hard, floating and still, fast and slow…

Finding the middle is a challenge and fun… The only thing that is not contrasted is the forward motion. I am moving ahead and there is nothing that indicates one step forward and two steps back.

ZOOM ZOOM

I can’t wait to see what happens with all of the movement.

Action = Passion + Energy – Fear ~ Juicy Heart

Today is all about motion and keeping the momentum going.

Just a few hours perhaps a day or two to mount a new website for the Swimming Club that I belong to. There seem to be so many small details and I know we can take care of all of them as we move along. There is a pleasure and a joy in me that burns brightly as I follow passion and energy…

There is something about the light and shadow in this picture that stirs me today. There is something about the story of the Chiesa di San Moise that intrigues me… a site so overloaded with “ostentatious Baroque stone decorations that several statues were removed in 1878” a site that is given over to the glorification of an old Venetian family … There seems to me to be beauty and redemption in the painting and eternal JOY in the facade.

There can only be REDEMPTION in the light - VeniceBeauty in florid JOY of carved stone ... Venice

UnWRAPPED – ♥ – Juicy Heart

Today I am UnWRAPPED

I usually carefully put myself together, wrapping myself up, making certain non of the loose ends are showing. There seems to be no wrapping today. I am full of all of my passions and full of all of my fears and full of all of the joys of my life.

I am particularly aware of how raw I feel when I hear, inconsistencies and unbalanced elements. Hearing imbalances, untruths, lies has me feel a little raw today. The world can be cruel and unkind. I will need to be extra generous with my own self care.

I will be sweet and kind and generous and finally extraordinarily gracious with myself in order to compensate for the: gas lighting, crazy making, unbalanced emotional response that takes place in me as I hear lies or untruths.

The sweetness and graciousness will allow me to glow. The glow will let me be safe and know that it is alright to be UnWRAPPED.

Nudge – ♥ – Juicy Heart

Nudge…

Sometimes all I really want is a small gentle nudge. Most times my mind and my being gives me a huge aggressive and demanding push. I never respond to pushing and shoving in a nice way. Points me to retraining myself to be move of what I actually want and a lot less of what I do not want.

Today I will be gentle and take it easy. I will listen to the truth of  what my heart wants.

Just A LITTLE – ♥ – Juicy Heart

Just a LITTLE!

Just a LITTLE is all it takes to create a sense of motion and action. Just a little proaction, that is really all it takes to start the ball in motion. Just a LITTLE is all it can take to have me feel much better and more accomplished.

Yesterday I thought that I would just take care of a small job and viola there it is a whole job completed. Yes!, I had to rid my mind of all of the judgements. Yes!, I had to concentrate on just the small little piece. Yes!, I had to tell myself “this is a work in progress.”  Yes!, I had to keep moving and pushing ahead.

Now the job is done and I feel inspired to take on another job. I wonder where this will lead?

Today I will feel and be successful and proactive at getting the job done!
