The moon is a pulse of life, it is our breath.

A flat earth insists of balance, yet a sphere is no bipolar affair as maybe thoughts move away from these polarities and manufactured divorce economies.

Thank you Adriana.... appreciating this many layered sharing of the feminine. Allowing the conversation to rest in the context of cycles makes sense to me - it feels like a firm place to explore all the ways the "feminine" can show up. Perhaps a more realistic and true question might be is "How can we better embrace we are cyclical beings?" Or "what energy would a woman in her luteal phase bring to this experience?" There are parts of me that wish I would have read this, considered this 5, 10, 20 years ago. And part that are like, hell yeah, considering this now is right on time. Thank you!

Thanks for this link Richard. I'll check it out. Its super nice to see you here and see you also at Bonnie's. Modernity still doesn't have much room for "lyric" culture or alternatives that are in synch, in resonance with the pulse of life...but the fact that you are here, that other movements are happening, that people seem to be open and curious gives me hope...

"When we speak we often use language as if there is shared meaning. Much of the time, this is not true."

'The feminine' is one of many cases in point, as we go around and around each other meaning different things. To ground in something tangible and real is wise, Adriana. To give a shared more precise vocabulary. But you already know that. Bravo.

This essay shows that HRT has no aothority. But neither do the alternatives proposed. Completely ignores the cycles within cycles that make a natural life.
