of the majority of our community sufferings.
we are created by an egg and a sperm,
which traditionally meet through the act of sexual intercourse.
this union can express many emotions, or no emotion,
with the result being the manifestation of the act of creation.
we have created a world fixated on
pleasure, power, physical appearance, and hierarchy
with distinct and rigid gender roles and expectation.
these values continue to destroy ourselves and our communities.
conception that occurs in this environment
perpetuates and increases the presence of these values on the earth.
but, if we stop, and begin to have sex that
is built upon the foundation of
love, exploration, wonderment, respect, appreciation
and understanding of bodies and joy,
we can bring this into greater being in the world.
every moment we are actively participating in the
continuous creation of the world
through our thoughts, actions, words, looks, breaths,
interactions with all creatures and all beings.
these actions of creation are important and deserve great reflection
and still, we are given even greater
responsibility as we contribute to the continuous creation
by bringing a new life-our child-into being and belonging.
if this child came into being
through the meeting of cells
that journeyed toward one another
through an ultimate expression of love
and connection of two beings
two breathing lungs, two pounding hearts
just think what the world could become!
how beautiful is it that we are given the opportunity to be active participants in creation !
and, that the process in which we are able to do so
is through the vulnerable union of two bodies
naked and open and trembling
if we intend to not just survive, but thrive,
we must re-think our ideas and expectations of
bodies, sexuality, love, creation, joy and truth.
why have we devalued the power of women's bodies?
i do not believe that all sex has to be for conception
nor do i believe that children born outside of an ultimate expression of love
are to be faulted for the sufferings we all experience
but, the fact that sex is the process for
re-creation means that sex is a sacred part of continuous creation
and should be treated accordingly.
understanding that sex is sacred teaches us
that all expression of love are sacred and to be respected.
we have to stop forcing people
through acts and expressions of homophobia, hate speech and violence
to engage in untruthful relationships and sexual activity with people
they do not love.
i believe the world is magical and divine.
when asked, "who created you?"
how do you respond?
do you say "god" or "my mother and my father"
or are these the same?
could they be the same if we truly believed
we are all divine expressions/pieces/connection of god/spirit/love
and powerful enough to create a world from mutual love?
