(blushes) Awwwwwwwww, thanks Margherita! =)

Though I certainly am not intending to depict myself as a role model or instructor to youth, I nonetheless would be delighted if I inspired young hearts to embrace their inner Being and live consciously, immune to peer pressure and judgment! In doing that, the world is a much more vibrant, full place! =)

Even though I believe we are not our bodies, I nonetheless believe they are still beautiful vessels that ought to be embraced while they can. I'm truly not intending to be either narcissistic and/or perverted in my new foray, I'm simply being me, expressing the visual poetry of me...........and I've always been a nature-loving, erotic-minded individual that nonetheless kept much of that creative potential untapped because of my own negative body-image. Now I'm embracing it all and it is working wonders for me! =)

My own parents have actually been the most outspoken opponents of my decision (my parents are, as much as I dislike labels in general in that I don't believe they make justice of how deep and unique we all are, pretending I'm playing with labels, "socially conservative", who are among the generation following the Baby Boomers that sensed chaos and disorder and feared for the lives of those they loved and thus emerged, understandably, as a prudent, security-minded, overprotective generation, which is why I'm not angry with them at all and simply saddened, and tend to see much body-image art as narcissism and express disgust with public conversations on sexuality, among other things)...........accusing me of having "abnormal", "distorted" views on body image and sensuality and that I'm surrounded by "sluts" without even meeting any of them and I know they're not in that they raise successful families of their own and help friends and others in need just as my parents do. I know how to take care of myself because, while I am consciously aware I'm gentle and always try to see the good in everyone and everything, I'm nonetheless very strong as well and am not to be underestimated. I would never do anything to intentionally hurt those I love, everything I'm deciding to do is about positively-affirming self-expression. Nonetheless, they tend to take simple disagreements with their life philosophy very personally, and if a moment comes soon where their relationship with me becomes splintered, I can't change who I am and, as heavy as my heart will be from that, I will always love them and if I have to move on from them, from my point of view it will be an amicable split, where I didn't leave them, they left me. So I believe my life will get better this year, with the exception of family which I concede will all but certainly decline because of their struggles to take me as I am (the few downbeat poems I will soon post are centered around my speaking from the heart to them)

It's an amazing coincidence that this breakthrough is happening on the first decade anniversary since I started writing poetry too (February 6th, 2000) as I think the second decade will mark a starkly different way in how my poetry is processed................where the first decade was just speaking from within myself with just pen, paper and vocals, but now modeling, I've found, is another form of poetry............kinetic, visual poetry...........
