The Cure We think we get over things. We don’t get over things. Or say, we get over the measles but not a broken heart. We need to make that distinction. The things that become part of our experience never become less a part of our experience. How can I say it? The way to “get over” a life is to die. Short of that, you move with it, let the pain be pain, not in the hope that it will vanish but in the faith that it will fit in, find its place in the shape of thing

Someone asked me “What got me interested in doing what I do?” My response took some time as I needed to go through a few layers. Right down at the bottom was that there was nothing here in Toronto that offered me what I was looking for. A safe place for me to gather with other men, to talk, touch and simply be myself without judgement and without having to become someone that I was not. As a part of the story, I had travelled often to the United States to participate and assi

Phillip and HIS Kind… The search for… Community. It feels like I have been searching all my life for a group that is like me. I have decided to give up that search. I feel like I will never find that group. I feel that I will never find a group of men that will not want to make me change to be like them. There has been a process involved with coming to the realization that I simply need to stay within myself. The start of the process was the never ending feeling, thoughts and

This from a very personal outlook today as the warmth and light of spring awaken me with their warmth … Why am i so very distrustful when those I barely know, speak to me and say things to me about “brotherhood”, “camaraderie”, “shared community”… Both my heart and mind say “Sorry, I have barely met you?… I find myself withdrawing and moving to a place of separation… I can easily find myself… (Yes like Alice) in a place where everything is very unfamiliar. My imagery and thou

I woke up this morning and went to sleep last night loving trees. I dreamt of the radiant green energy that radiates from the trees. I dreamt and fantasized about the radiant green energy that flows from my heart! All this from the Breath – Movement – Meditation class last night at the Awaken Studio. I am so glad that I opened the studio space for this. I am grateful for the wonderful pairing of Paul Galloro. My body feels so great today as I channel the energy and power of t

Coming OUT to yourself. Sometimes crawling, stepping, dancing outside of the comfort zone might be a challenge, a joy, a thrill, a nightmare. Having a community, a family, a support network around can be helpful and sometimes in this stepping out all one can do is step bravely forward and leap! This from the internet:“When you are brave enough to live your truthYou give someone else persmission to do the same.” “When you are brave enough to live your truth, you give someone e

It is wonderful to be in such a BIG adventure! Yesterday as I picked up the paper off the streetcar seat this was the first article my eyes fell on. Libra The adventure is just beginning. You end up with something different than you expected. What will you discover? Flexibility and patience are key. I was a bit stunned looking at this as I had just been to see a space. I was so totally disappointed. The room was alright, there were no amenities… those could be provided. The b

I am still savouring the end of my coaching call yesterday. (Yes I have a personal coach! ) This last little tid-bit was about creating a place, a space where one can say YES!  And how very much I am involved and great at being in a YES place! and bringing others along with me. YES ! I can. YES! I am. YES! I can do this. YES! This is okay! YES! I want more. YES! I would like to try that. YES! YES! YES! I know that saying YES! all the time is not possible, however there is so
