what we ache for
we ache to touch intimately what is real,
to find the marriage of meaning and matter in
our lives and in the world.
we ache to feel and express the fire of
being fully alive.
when we cultivate and refuse to separate those
essential expressions of a human soul
~ our spirituality, sexuality, and creativity ~
we feed the fire of our being,
we find that place where
the soul and the sensuous meet,
we unfold.
willing to do our creative work and
refusing to separate it from
our sexuality or our spirituality,
we add a life-sustaining breath to the world.
