The Light Below Is Brighter

-

The light below is brighter

Under the sea it glows

    buried in the sand.

The moon is reaching out to get it.

Jealously it ripples,

    but the light does not give in.


I yearn for it and keep it to myself,

                          its presence.

 

To float above its waters,

       is all I could desire

The light below is brighter.

Link Dump No. 1 - Sexuality & Spirituality, (Neo) Tantra & Christian Mysticism, BONUS: M.A. Thesis "Voices from the Mountains"

    Okay, so here is another thing I've been wanting to do with this blog for some time now. So far, I've mostly just shared thoughts and ideas which take me definitely up to a few hours to write, and require my concentration for long stretches at a time, which is an opportunity I rarely have, and thus this limits how often I can write on this blog, which then also becomes a new hurdle whenever I want to try writing something again, once I'm terribly out of practice. No problem, because now I have a revolutionary idea that will work for me, but that is not really all too applicable to other people's blogs, so maybe it's not as revolutionary after all?? As I said: no problem. Today, I want to simply share a few links to resources for topics and ideas I've been thinking about lately, which will serve as a helpful base from which to later perhaps write more fleshed out rambles, like the ones I'm an expert at writing. However, this kind of post will only require...

A Manifesto for Christian Rebels and Ex-Vangelicals

 A very quick post today: I wrote this text after yesterday's reflection regarding spirituality and sexuality (which you can read here ), and was inspired just now as I was reading the introduction to Georg Feuerstein's book Enlightened Sexuality: Essays on Body-Positive Spirituality , which I'm already loving and will probably seek a physical copy of. Here is what I wrote: Yes! We urgently need a new Christian spirituality that carries the Gospel of Christ today, where the Kingdom of God is found here and now ! And what I see is a vision that is body-positive and corporeal, present, sensual, creative, erotic, intimate, passionate! Romantic! (Even Artistic!) That values Agape love in the here and now, that values and celebrates individual experience, that accepts all bodies and all genders as they are and will be, that teaches Love, Compassion and Eros across all forms of sexualities and relationships. That defends individual autonomy and nourishes self-expression. That fo...

On Eros Love in Friendship

 I've been thinking lately about love, specifically Eros love, in friendships. Last year I read an article by Tara Isabella Burton, an author I really esteem, about this topic, and just now a few days ago I finally read through The Four Loves by C.S. Lewis. Recent talks with friends and my wife too have encouraged me to desire and think differently about the types of relationships I have with those whom I choose to love Platonically (in an original sense) and I've been more honest with myself and others in expressing that what I crave most in intimate personal relationships is physical touch. I love hugging, I love kissing, I love caressing and holding my friends' heads on my shoulders, as well as resting my head on theirs as we talk about questions or problems, or just as we watch a movie together. I love sharing my bed with friends, embarking on new projects with them, I even love (in a way) having somewhat-heated discussions about plans or ideas for solving joint prob...
