There was an interesting topic that came up at the annual North American Vegetarian Society’s conference last week. It was something that I as a woman, I am concerned with, but tend not to think about. ….. it was the topic of Erectile Dysfunction…. I never realized how common a problem it is, even among men as young as their 20’s.

"It's a long trip from the head to the heart." Is what an anonymous quote says, and it's only true because our heads tend to make so many short trips into lifelong odysseys. It's because we have to think about it so much – but how do we think?
I worked for an amazing visionary artist in Costa Rica named Jan Betts. Her work is extraordinare and her energy is medicine to whom she is around. Her art work changed my view on the spirit of nature and while I was working with her I learned many things.
About 7 years ago I discovered the practice of kirtan. Over the years I've done a lot of chanting, mostly on my own but also with others. I've also done a lot of no chanting or no practice at all. Both I think are good for learning and honoring our humanity. With the push and pull of heart and ego there are moments when I realize and know what I need to do.
...feeling the overwhelming urge to write, I thought I would write about the upcoming Mercury Retro period, but that desire was extinguished swiftly by a stronger desire to really make that article (and podcast) a juicy one. Instead, I fell back on Ms. Lovely moON, and what she is doing on this fine Saturn-day.

A little story: Once there were two children who lived in the inner city in Dublin. They were twins, a boy and a girl. They had no chance in life. Even as babies they were addicts – even before they left the womb. Their mother was addicted to heroin. The father came and went bringing violence and abuse with him. The children lived in squalor.
The powers of freedom lie in the heart. They lie in its very beating. They lie in the surges of energy which, like thunder and lightning, flow through it. No ordinary organ, the heart. How is it so?
I am awakening to the empowering perspective that my making music is akin to true magic. I create a piece of music out of nothing, and offer it to the world. There exists a thing of beauty where none existed before. Creation = magic.
Words heave, tease and rumble,
running beneath furrows of my skin,
under folds and cracks and pores,
arcing through bone, lining my vacant eye with shadow
like crystalline shorelines, metamorphosed
from emptiness into being.
The space between us
breathes like flame swept on a wind
to lick, lightly caressing its tongue
on the coarse, damp fabric of existence,
With the imagination, a descent into the Void, and the heart‘s intuitive intelligence, facilitate the collective birth and the birth of a new you.(more)
I can't always articulate why - I just feel deeply compelled to continue following this path - in this way.
After years of mindful focus in my practice I am applying more -heartfulness- to my experience & process. Drawing, focusing on feeling words and expressions.
When I feel - the expression becomes one of 'well, what is the language of the heart?'
Last night I went to sleep on the eve of Halloween, here in America. I soon found myself out of my body and in the back hallway behind the bedroom. I immediately realized I was in the state of astral travel.
For five decades, since the beginning of the Feminist movement, awareness and interest in the Divine Feminine and the Goddess has expanded. Scores of books have explored her historic appearance and role, and her many forms and guises. The question is asked repeatedly, “How we can return her to her rightful place in our culture?”
In my favourite book and companion since 10 years, The journey into consciousness by Charles Breaux, one very interesting thing is said about opening one's heart chakra. It says that contrary to what one might think, opening one's heart chakra can lead to angry or even hateful reactions from one's surroundings, instead of more love or compassion from others.
"Banish the word 'struggle' from your attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for." — Hopi elders
