4 of 8 - Snippetts of Eros - Health, a Form of Love

Dear Earthlings:

The year of wonders is what 2012 is supposed to be. Yours truly offers snippets of her favorite books. All on yesterday's forbidden themes. Let's see if their mysteries are revealed.

Eros is a story that staved the loneliness of her first years in the Caribbean, when she was missing her former Matrias, California and Italy.

Does health emanate from love? That's one of the main themes. Hypoglycemia is an emotional disorder that results from isolation, loss, absence of love. Are other diseases a result of the same problem? A very old question, and new. Love, the ecology of life, is the source of health. Isn't that a win-win? A world where it is safe to live is a world where it is safe to love.

Here are yours truly's reflections back in 2007. Eros: A Journey of Multiple Loves, has the full story.

"I returned to the center where they were reluctant to test me. I told them I would not budge until a test was scheduled. I did test positive for this dangerous nutritional imbalance, which, accidentally, as I was told, caused Virginia Wolf's suicide. Hypoglycemia is a syndrome few conventional doctors understand. It is a prelude to diabetes, as well as its opposite, since the production of insulin is accelerated. A naturopath was called, and he told me what I had, explaining how the condition had to be brought under control by an appropriate diet and eating style. Meals had to be frequent and small . . . ." (31)

The narrative continues as Gaia heals naturally and becomes a holistic healer herself. Oh blessed be!

Dear Earthlings:

Education is the heart of democracy. And that includes education to love. It comes in many forms. Including learning about Eros and journeys of multiple loves.

Eros: A Journey of Multiple Loves was a Lambda Finalist in 2007. It is now being considered for translation in to Spanish by a press in Madrid. Access to this memoir would be a great gift to Spanish speakers across the globe. If you agree, leave a comment and we will let the publisher know. Gracias!

Did you enjoy the post? Let us know! Yours truly appreciates your attention. The comments box is open.

Come back! And stay tuned for more wonders.

Namaste,

3 of 8 - Snippets of Eros - Knowledge in the Feminine, Knowledge as Love

Dear Earthlings:

The year of wonders is what 2012 is supposed to be. Yours truly offers snippets of her favorite books. All on yesterday's forbidden themes. Let's see if their mysteries are revealed.

Eros is a story that staved the loneliness of her first years in the Caribbean, when she was missing her former Matrias, California and Italy.

What does knowledge in the feminine fee like? Is it ecological? Sustainable? That's one of the main themes. Since time immemorial, women know each other independently of men. We love each other independently of men. Yet the very topic has become taboo. Why? Women's knowledge has been regarded as ignorance for too long. Women produce knowledge when they produce love. Isn't that a win-win? A world that reveres women's knowledge is a world that reveres love.

Here are yours truly's reflections back in 2007. Eros: A Journey of Multiple Loves, has the full story.

"Sara and I were positioned at the edge of a university system which treated women's knowledge as ignorance. Knowledge was modeled on war, an invasion of the field or body to be searched or conquered by the knowing mind. But our presence brought in our sense of economy as subsistence, of ecology as balance in the energy field between beings. We were a site of resistance to the mechanistic concepts of learning, justice, and well being generated by the prevalent masculine epistemology. I remember Sara being always happy, healthy, and full of energy. She had very few toys but was always busy. Later on . . . I kept thinking back to this blessed time when ecological frugality was the measure of a child's freedom and happiness" (20)

The narrative continues as Sara follows her destiny to become an Italian girl raised by her dad. Oh blessed be!

2 of 8 - Snippets of Eros - When a "No" Becomes a "Yes"

Dear Earthlings:

The year of wonders is what 2012 is supposed to be. Yours truly offers snippets of her favorite books. All on yesterday's forbidden themes. Let's see if their mysteries are revealed.

Eros is a story that staved off the loneliness of her first years in the Caribbean, when she was missing her former Matrias, California and Italy.

Can a "no" become a "yes"? That's one of the main themes. Many a "no" has turned into a "yes" since time immemorial. Yet the very question became taboo. Why? If we respect a "no" that becomes a "yes," we will respect a "yes" that becomes a "no." Isn't that a win-win? A world where love can change our minds is a world where love abounds.

Here are yours truly's reflections back in 2007. Eros: A Journey of Multiple Loves, has the full story.

"Campus culture was increasingly aware of rape, and Stephane and i could not help but notice that the rapist was always male, the raped female. . . . "There must be a way in which a woman can rape a man" I commented. And that's how we came to see our erotic performances, especially those in which I was the initiator, as examples of male rape. . . .
But when a man's voice says no, his body might be saying yes with a flamboyant erection. In this case, the man's voice and his genitals make two opposite statements. "Which one is more correct?" we wondered. In the past, rape had been a crime against the woman's family, often repaired with the rapist marrying the girl" (17).

The narrative continues as Stephane and Gaia bask in their amorous erotic play. Oh blessed be!

1 of 8 - Snippetts of Eros - What's Erotic about Learning?

Dear Earthlings:

The year of wonders is what 2012 is supposed to be. Yours truly offers snippets of her favorite books. All on yesterday's forbidden themes. Let's see if their mysteries are revealed.

Eros is a story that staved the loneliness of her first years in the Caribbean, when she was missing her former Matrias, California and Italy.

Is learning erotic? That's one of the main themes. Students and teachers have fallen in love with each other since time immemorial. Yet the very question has become a taboo. Why? Love produces desire to know. Knowledge produces desire to love. Isn't that a win-win? A world where knowledge is loved is a world that knows love and reveres it.

Here are yours truly's reflections back in 2007. Eros: A Journey of Multiple Loves, has the full story.

"As a teacher and student of many years, I know that, no matter what sexual-harassment policies say, learning is erotic since it activates the pleasure of discovery by putting brain cells in motion, and stimulates the body-mind by opening up vistas and possibilities to the imagination. The erotic energy emanating from this process is what keeps people in schools--it is what keeps us engaged in the learning process, be it as students and teachers. . . . I was not fully aware of this when . . . I was going to become my student's teacher of language as well as love" (4).

The narrative continues as Stephane and Gaia fall in love. Oh blessed be!
