hungry for connection?

We live in a world hungry for connection! It appears humans have come to a place in history where there has been a sense of loss of community, of spirituality, and of body! The dominant culture in the West has denied us "the sense of self" which we would have come to by being rooted in a "village" that allowed for the acceptance of everyone according to the gifts each offered the community and / or the world at large.

I have been reading how "being gay" is a modern 18th-19th century social construct, but there have always been men and women who fulfilled the role of the "in-between ones or the two spirited ones." We were recognized for our social and spiritual functions in the community.

Now is the time for us, the gay men and women to reach into our hearts and with our intuition fulfill those roles once again as the world around us feels its need for healing. I know I must begin the journey of healing myself and creating a circle of men willing to create a "safe space" to play and find myself and in the play help others to heal too! The first task is to create "the community," we all know we need. Second, we honour each other for the various paths of experience we have walked and thirdly, it is helpful for us to be able to risk being vulnerable.

As we do take these steps, hopefully there is the re-discovery of who we are and a re-awakening to the purpose of our lives as gay men and a discovery of the energy of personal power to discover our various spiritualities and of the connectedeness of being in the body.

We all walk this path together.........Blessed Be.
