I also loved the taboo course saturday. I'm coming from lots of solitude --did i mention that? (uh yeah, like 60 times?) -- so I�m accustomed to being safe, knowing that at least I'm not directly harming anybody, and enjoying still waters of calm abiding.

Dangers of that calm? Yes, probably some energies suppressed, perhaps complacent.. also the danger of being mistaken for buddhist & getting my neck wrung ... (well, .. if you insist! :)

If not total solitude.. then why not simply be intimate with one person? Thats what tends to present itself, have done it .. But don't I want more than that? do i want to possess, take on the obligations and expectations of exclusive possession?

So what do I want?-- for now, to sit in a circle and be as honest and selfrevealing as possible about anything that may come to mind, speaking and listening with respect and mindfulness, sharing equally, brutally, sweetly, with others who are doing the same thing .. what happened saturday. �Thank you all.

When I was young, people hated my greediness, but they enjoyed it too. A little girl filled with desire is a beautiful sight, ugly, but very beautiful." (Jane Mendelsohn, I was Amelia Earhart, 1996)
