It is continually a wonder being alive, being a participant in Life, and just as compelling is beholding Beauty, as a force within the nature of being Human. This mysterious thing we enjoy we call Beautiful, when in fact, beauty is a substance essential to the creation of Life. From both the Creator, and the Creatress came Life; beautiful and horrible it may be on each side of the relationship the forces that made Life engage each other.
Being sensible about sensuality is as difficult a task as balancing the stoked fires of longing! Men have tried hard for centuries, and in patriarchal societies came up with laws restricting women's behavior and dress. Those laws excused them from the responsibility of controlling their spirits. Women under this duress complied, or died. It was that simple. Matrilineal societies were too connected to the Womb, as a sacred space, for men to be excused from discipline and refinement of their formlessness...
If we look properly at women we can see all of these things and more attaching us to the threads of the web holding the worlds together we live in, respond to, come from and become if we become certain kinds of men!
These are some of the songs of a Father!...
