Feel The Word
Question outside authority—whether religious, political, or personal inhibitions that have been absorbed—that silence your desires. Feel the truth of who you are and find authority in your own sense of self. This is the beginning of boundaries work. We have to know what we have taken on from our environments in order to begin understanding what is true for us.
A principle that helps me in this work is: follow the flame of desire with the practiced awareness of what happens when we do so. Maybe we follow our desires, but the most important aspect is to practice awareness. That’s the part that we never see in movies, porn, or the domain of public fantasy, but it is a framework that can allow us to turn our sex into a path of exploration of the deep self.
We may have lost our ability to communicate our own boundaries. We may not know where our own boundaries lie. We all must learn where to draw the line and when to speak up for ourselves. Contact me for personal or partnered work on your erotic journey.
Feel the Word is part of a larger body of work called The Sacred Whore: an invitation to descend into our personal and collective shadows. It is an exploration of gay shadow and light, themes that connect us as a gay tribe to our most impassioned thrills as well as our aching sorrows.
