about me
45 yo red hair 5'9" 185lbs libertarian socialist committed to nonviolent change

I have been studying Buddhist meditation only since spring 2007 but The benefit to me and those around me has been unmeasurable. In part because of the awareness of the heart through Vipassana and my own discovery that came forth recently.


I always felt a spiritual loving attachment between male intimacy and the spirit of nature itself. Since the age of ten I can recall playing nude with other boys in the forest feeling the forest spirit laughing and playing with us.

Then I was introduced to the Radical Faeries (Radfae for short) by someone with whom we shared our worst and yet best trials of our lives. He became the holder of my heart spirit and my brother. I now call him my Heart Brother.

I see The Radical Faeries are a group of folk (mostly gay but not all) who connect to their Radical Beautiful Queer Inner Spirit and fearlessly show this inner beauty on the outside. I have always admired and wanted to have the courage to be one of them.

Then October 17, 2008, Through my developing awareness and a conversation with my Heart Brother I came to a realization.

I am in my heart a Radical Faerie and became aware of such because of practicing Vipassana Buddhist Meditation. My awareness allowed me to feel compassion for my Queer Heart and Express it without hesitation.

For me Buddhism and being a Faerie are one and the same.

"The jewel is in the Lotus" Could not be more Faerie than If The Radfae themselves had coined it!

Compatible? How about Immiscible!




laid back loving life on my little farm, which I am now developing into a Faerie Space as I Finish the Bunkhouse. I recently birthed two new foals in April '09. They are adorable mini Welsh ponies and each is18 inches high. The black mini in the elf cap is my stallion sammy: 27 inches high at the shoulder and 3 years old. He's a love sponge who follows me like a puppy.

I am looking for you if you are comfortable with yourself, like to play and live your life out in the sun. Glenn are together, play together, but sometimes we prefer to play separately We recently have included other lovers that we dearly cherish in our wider circle of love and we are now more content than ever!
Clearly homo sapiens is not a monogamous species by nature! My spirituality stems from the belief that all living things are sentient and connected. Even trees have an awareness but their sentience is very different from our own. I listen to my heart. And it tells me that living true to my nature, and being a child of nature is my first best destiny.

To David and all my gay brothers


What happens to us (gay fellows) all too commonly is that we grow up being told we are worthless deviants. Then somebody comes and exploits our self-perceived worthlessness. We accept this treatment which beats our self worth even further.

What is miraculous is when some one who really cares sees the shining boy inside you. And then with this person's help you learn to see the shining boy yourself.
I found these to be my true spiritual epiphanies. You are a man with a soul of a man. Worthy and handsome of body and spirit. As gay fellas we belong to a brotherhood of commonality. I feel this bond of healing with many of my brothers. Something we create that most straight fellas will never know

Transformation, a short story,

Introduction

Doctor Colrain was sitting by the flickering fire in the stone fireplace of his cottage while sipping hot mulled wine. At ninety-seven years of age he was the oldest practicing physician in Nova Scotia. For that matter, he was probably the oldest in the world. But as there was no other to render care in this old and remote village of one hundred twenty souls he would continue to his last days. Homo Sapiens were not the only species under his c... read more
