1 of 26 - De l'Absurdite des vers - Mohamed Nait Youssef

Dear Earthlings:

My gift this year is a collection of 26 poems in my favorite language, French. It's the language of love, so full of charm and mystery and music. Those earth tones, warm vowels that feel like deep ocher. It produces oxytocin, at least for me. The author, Mohamed Nait Youssef, is a promising voice. Very touching, heartfelt his journey into awareness. Here is the first in the series. We'll come back every Friday.

1. Le crépuscule d’une icône :

À la mémoire d’Abdelkébir Khatibi

La lettre est violée,

hélas !

Et j’ai lu quelques ivres mots.

Je sens que l’écriture est vagabonde

Dans le labyrinthe du signe obscur

Qui jette le sang d’un mot futur

Dans la vierge mémoire dure

Pour que la parole naisse

Entre les bras du silence

Pour que tu donnes de l’existence

À mes angoisses nuits d’hiver…

Ô ma mère !!!

Que ce jaune rouge pâle

Et goût amer

Graphe sur mon corps

Comme ce rêve au-delà de l’air

Mot sanguin

Tatouer sur le visage de la mer

Signe, graphe, trace, identité, mot, parole et mémoire

Henné,

Cher frère

Travers-tu

Toutes les tribus et tous les déserts ???

Annie Sprinkle, Tit Print

To readers: This book is a dialog between me and myself. In between is the Universe. I have followed the teachings of the ancients, who also used dialogs in a philosophical form. We need a new vision of love. A vision that will persuade this cosmic force to stay. The space between Gaia and Serena is where the new vision manifests.

This is probably the most inspiring book I've ever done. I am seeking endorsements from all the writers, healers, lovers of love I know. Publishers want to hear your voice. Let's give the book its best chance to go out in the world and perform its transfomative effect. You are invited to request chapters and write your endorsements in the form of "blurbs." Snapshots are intended to guide your choice. I will need your endorsements by the end of August. Thank you!

Snapshots of Chapters

1: Love As Art

The theory that love is an art and what makes it an essential life affirming interpretation. The cosmic force of love as the ecology of life.

2: Initiations

The rituals that create the sacred spaces where the energy of love is invoked and the arts of loving are learned.

3: The Pleasure of the Other

The explanation of why a good artist of love is a lover who experiences the pleasure of the other as his or her own.

4: Monogamy and Monosexuality

The institutions that regulate love as the Berlin Wall and the Iron Curtain of a divided world that smothers the energy of love.

5: Romance, Sexuality, and Exclusivity

The three essential elements of love that function like essential colors in the palette of artists of love who mix and match them in different combinations.

6: Beyond Exclusivity: Compersion, the Spirit of Polyamory

The joy of holding the space of love for others. What planet Earth does across time and space when she hosts life and sources the cosmic energy of love.

7: Fluid Bonding: Health and Safety in Erotic Communities

Why a world where it is safe to love is a world where it is safe to live. What practices of health protect the safety of amorous communities and their participants.

8: Beyond Monosexuality: Fluidity, Knowledge, Eros

Why when love is interpreted as an art, loving beyond gender is natural and bisexuality is a portal to this ecosexual world of sexual fluidity and amorous inclusiveness.

9: Ecosexual Love in Cyberspace

The interpretation of cyberspace as a new dimension of love that activates the sphere of planetary consciousness also known as noopshere at new levels of inclusiveness, fluidity, and intensity.

10: Ecosexuality and Holistic Sexual Health

Ecosexuality as the practice of love beyond gender, numbers, ages, orientations, races, and species. The style of love that embraces all of life as a partner with equal rights and optimizes local, global, and ecosystemic health.

Cindy Baker, Earth as Lover

Ecosexuality: The New Orgasmic Revolution on Planet Earth

Dear Earthlings:

This was one of my happiest and most spontaneous keynotes. The theater was packed and the audience was wonderful. Ecosexuality as a vernacular culture at its best. Amazing questions. Curious as to what this orgasmic revolution might be all about? Listen!

If the video does not click, go to Facebook

If you're not a Facebooker, click to got to Youtube

In any event, heartfelt acknowledgements to Gabriella Cordova, Teri Ciacchi, and all the other generous organizers.

Oh, and whether you're a presenter, an attendee, or a writer, poet, blogger, reporter, artist, practitioner, researcher interested in ecosexuality, please send us your contribution for the ecosexual anthology we plan to put together. We expect a closing date of September 1st. Read all details in the Call for Papers.

Ecosexuality: When Ecology and Sexuality Come Together

Ecosexuality: When Ecology and Sexuality Come Together

This is a new academic course that can be taught as a seminar, at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

The course is dedicated to exploring ecosexuality, as a social movement, a style of amorous and creative expression, a cosmic theory, an orientation, and a practice of love.

What is ecosexuality? How did the concept come about and why it matters? How can it help us to explore the intersections between ecology and sexuality, science and the humanities, global and personal health and love? How does ecosexuality intersect with other orientations and practices of love, including those common among gays, bis, straights, polys, swingers, metrosexuals, and so on? How does ecosexuality contribute to defining our relationship to the environment, to technology, the natural elements, and the web of life that sustains our species? Is nature our enemy, mother, hostess, all of the above?
A number of recent sources touch on the theme of ecosexuality. They include books and articles that study and analyze cultural expression, films, dvds, websites, and other educational and documentary cultural texts. Some of those in the assigned reading list may include: Sexual Fluidity, by Lisa Diamond; Sex at Dawn, by Christopher Ryan and Calcida Jetha; Gaia and the New Poltics of Love, by Serena Anderlini; Polyamory in the 21st Century, by Deborah Anapol; Mystery Dance, by Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan; Microcosmos and Acquiring Genomes by Lynn Margulis; Sirens, by John Duigan; Shortbus, by John Cameron Mitchell; An Inconvenient Truth, by Davis Guggenheim; Sluts and Goddesses by Annie Sprinkle, Love Art Lab by Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens; French Twist by Josiane Balasko, The Ignorant Fairies by Ferzan Ozpetek, and Science of Panic, by Patrizia Monzani.

Dr. Serena Anderlini-D'Onofrio, PhD, gave the opening remarks at the world's first Symposium on Ecosexuality in Los Angeles on Oct 24, 2010, and keynoted at the second Symposium on Ecosexuality in San Francisco on June 18, 2011. She will keynote at the upcoming EcoSex Symposium in Portland on June 29, 2012. She is the author of Gaia and the New Politics of Love, a seminal text of ecosexual theory. She blogs at http://polyplanet.blogspot.com
Research paper expected at end of course.

NYC’S GOLDEN GIRLS OF PORN: MOSEX HOSTS A REUNION OF THE WORLD’S FIRST PORN STAR SUPPORT GROUPs

Five adult film stars from the “Golden Age of Porn”: Veronica Hart, Gloria Leonard, Candida Royalle, Annie Sprinkle and Veronica Vera were the original "Sex and the City" girls. Turning to one another for the support they needed to navigate their way through life after blue movies, these dynamic women created “Club 90” in 1983, forming a bond that would continue for nearly thirty years. They went on to pursue their personal goals, and in the process, blazed new trails in the fields of human sexuality, women’s empowerment, erotic expression, and free speech. Come get a taste of the good old days when NYC was America’s sex film capital, movies were shot on 35mm film, and Times Square was x-rated! And most of all, come share the laughs, the drama & the intimate stories of this controversial support group. This rare reunion promises to be candid, informative and electric!

When: Tuesday, June 12^th, 2012 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Where: MOSEX's OralFix Bar, 233 5^th Ave, New York, NY 10016

2. Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens at Museum of Sex's F*ck Art Gallery, NYC, Wednesday, June 13. 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

ASSUMING THE ECOSEXUAL POSITION A performative visiting artist lecture, slideshow & tell with Annie Sprinkle & Beth Stephens

What happens when two city girls embrace the Earth as their lover? They get real dirty! Then they marry the Earth, Sky, Sea, Rocks, Sun, and more, in a series of performance art weddings? Stephens & Sprinkle have developed “SexEcology,” a new field of research which explores the places where sexology and ecology intersect. Learn 25 ways to make love with the Earth, how to find your e-spot, and why mysophilia, arboreal frottage and pollen-amory are so deeply satisfying. These ‘grrrrls gone green’ make experimental theater, visual art, video, and lead ecosex walking tours & workshops. Once you know more about the budding ecosex movement, you just might discover you are an ecosexual too.

Elizabeth Stephens is an artist, professor at UCSC, and filmmaker. Her new film, Goodbye Gauley Mountain—An Ecosexual Love Story, makes the environmental activist movement more sexy, fun and diverse. Annie Sprinkle was a prostitute and porn star for twenty years. She became a pivotal player in the sex positive feminist movement, an internationally known performance artist, and the first porn star to earn a Ph.D. Sprinkle and Stephens have been living and working together for twelve fertile years.
