This is the intro to the Fluid Relationships tribe.

Although I did not write this, it rings so very true to who I am in the world.

"Fluid Relationships

So you've heard of polyamory and read the Ethical Slut and other books about the topic and found that somehow it's not quite it for you? Perhaps it's the idea of having many boyfriends and/or girlfriends, like trying to sqeeze many monogamous relationships in your life. Perhaps it's the idea of dealing with all those boundaries, setting them, crossing them, checking-in and all that.

Fluid Relationships is about having relationships that ebbs and flows much like ballroom dancing. Sometimes you're dancing tango, sometimes you're dancing the waltz. Sometimes you're dancing with the same partner for 5 songs, sometimes for one or less. In any case, it all works since there is always the next song to dance to and always another partner to dance with. And yet, each dance partner is precious and beautiful in their own way, for in sharing this dance with you, while being present with you step after step, they offer you the most amazing gift of all: the gift of sharing a bit of their life with you.

Fluid Relationships is for all those who want an abundance of love, openness, juiciness, sex, intimacy (not just the usual kind!), passionate living and friendship. It is for all who value presence and sharing in their relationship, for from these two a true deep intimate connection can be created, and from that, anything is possible."

Calling all Faeries and EcoQueers, Spiritual Polyfuckers and Alternative Fags and Gay Reality-Checking Punk Anarchists and Gentle Angry Onanists!

Calling all Truthseekers and Truthtellers, Men Who Birth Ideas and Women Who Inseminate, Naked Intersexual Hunters and Gatheresses in Dresses!

Calling all Edgewalking Shamans and Cave-Blinded TechnoPagans and Tantric Warriors and Hedgecrossing Witches and Healers and Poets and Sensualists!

We walk between ages, cultures, sexes and spiritualities, self-chosen...

Flexible, we walk between silly and intentional, exploring different ways of being.

The strength of faeries can be the role of the Fool, the outsider within…ironic and truth telling and angry in an absurd way that can't be denied, that takes by surprise…(the emperor's old clothes were soooo tacky–skyclad rules!)… energy transformed through silliness and love and lust, through silence and sharing, through knowing and being.

"Put your ideas out at every opportunity and see how people respond to them. When they love them, soak in the adulation. When they hate them, stand tall knowing that you have elicited a response in them that might get their fires burning. Either way you can broaden people's horizons."

I stand

feet apart

toes flexed and ready

arms raised

fingers spread into supple bliss

Exhale

beaming

divine spark

Inhale the lifegiving sparks of my merry band of liquid lovers

I call

Listen

They hear

We draw closer

Mmm

Mmm

Mmm

We rejoice, dancing into the physical world

One by one

two three four host by host

we see that divine spark mirrored in each other's eyes souls

Mmm

We dare speak our love aloud.

It begins now.
