What is Sexuality?
A word made wrong and boxed for millennia
In need of a reframing
First, remove it from the box
Second, hold it up to the light
Watch it immediately blend in with everything that surrounds it
It becomes the quiet power of wind gently blowing through trees
The tremendous force of volcanos erupting
All innocence, all pure, all energy from the core, ever-moving, ever-expressing
This is your truest human expression
Our connection to the source
Life energy
Spinning, floating, playing, laughing, dancing, singing, feeling, trusting our deepest parts.
It is how we authentically love
Knowing there is never a deficit of unconditional love
It is kindness and joy and raw ache
It is desire, the sweetest and most passionate, undiluted and allowed to surface, sent from the divine
The burst of creation of anything and everything
It is endless curiosity and adventure
It is all the colors, diversity at its pinnacle
Treating everything as a miracle
It is loving our limits and clearly making them known
The wildest acceptance of the most hidden, pushed down, and orphaned fragments of our being
It is owning our thousands of choices each moment
It is doing no harm, or if harm is done accidentally, it is humbly bowing before other and acknowledging the perfect imperfection of our humanness and seeking to try again, and always again with more awareness
It is freedom herself, dropping any pretense of ownership, even of our own bodies and minds
It is the awe of a sunset, a forest, an endless ocean and even more endless sky
It is sweet silliness and sweet stillness.
It is the difference between how you love she who causes you pain and and how you love the ocean who brings you to your knees in awe and envelopes you in peace.
If you stand near the ocean and allow it to be the force it is, drink it in, and need nothing more, then you truly love the ocean. This is love, being in the fullness of life.
If you behold her and feel a longing to possess, I invite your definition and experience of love to expand.
A mature sexuality is the leaning into this expansion, being awake and alive to love at its fullest and freest.
