Love is slow. Love is gentle/  Feel the mist on your face, see your reflection in the lake as if you were a mountain. You are.

Imagine this was you. Expanded, retracted, infinite. You are not alone. We are amongst billions. But you have all the space you need. 💜

🇺🇸Golden Masses🇺🇸 8/6/18 • The month has been long. A lot has been happening, with illness with my family and in the community, injury, and chaos. I have been struggling with “hearing voices”... and I think that this is something that needs clarification amongst western psychologists and therapists. / When I was young, under-age and still a teenager, I was put in front of therapists and psychologists and they would ask three basic questions. 1.) Are you having thoughts of hurting yourself or committing suicide? 2.) Are you hearing voices? 3.) What is the date and the who is the President of the United States? These three questions categorize you into a quick trial diagnosis and then the doctors prescribe treatment and possibly meds. Just like that, you are in a box. You are a box, on a little piece of paper. Now, they say that they do not keep records after seven years, but this is most likely a lie. Just as it is a lie that if you committed a felony or misdemeanor over seven years ago it is not deleted nor does it disappear from your record. / Unfortunately, and I say this with impetus, I learned my way around these questions. Some people to need to answer these questions honestly, and people should be able to trust their doctor. But this is not the way it is in the mental health system. Now, here is another mind twister. We actually need more of this in our prisons. There are fine lines to be drawn and observed here and this is an incredibly difficult and tenuous subject. • See full blog post by clicking link in bio... “Welcome To the Grit” 🙏🌀❤️ • #iamresilient #glassslippersmoon #prisons #tyt #medicine #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #gifted #goldenmasses #hanginthere #psychology #psychotherapy #psykhe #eros #cupid #venus (at Lopez Island, Washington)

Secret places in our soul and minds are our very own. What is a secret soothing place that you retreat to?

🥀Back to Life🥀 € Okay, ladies, this is going to sound crazy, but my skills are developing. First, as I was meditating like a little buddha in my yard, on my quiet island, on a slow spring morning, I noticed that my coffee was swirling. I asked “...am I actually doing this?”, and I felt in my core that I was. I created a force with my mind that caused the coffee to swirl, to the right if I am recalling correctly. But I was born twisted. I was born with my feet pointing to the right and I wore little white shoes connected by a bar to straighten my natural swirl, though it is still very much alive in all of my muscular skeletal tissues. € These last few weeks have been crazy for lack of a better word. I have been lost in my head and having visions of people that are communicating with me. They are supporting me through a difficult transition and a heavy and dark astrological period that is happening right now on this entire planet. We are all here together. € On morning during this last month that has very much been a blur, I found a dead fly on the railing of my porch. With my witchy concepts, I was considering putting it in a carved wooden box, and as I touched it with my forefinger, it came back to life. I witnessed this and science, the psychoanalysts, the philosophers and metaphysicians can argue against me all they want. But I witnessed this. € Witness is the what makes laws and we the people are the witnesses of this world. Don’t doubt your eyes, don’t doubt your vision, don’t doubt your belief, and know that you are the change we need on this planet; use your eyes, connect them to your heart, and have faith. This is all we truly have. € #newday #backtolife #witches #witch #hope #iamresilient #glassslippersmoon (at Lopez Island, Washington)

Get the T.I.R.F. 23/7/18 So, have you ever heard of a T.E.R.F? (A Trans Exclusive Radical Feminist)? Well I have. And I think it is the most bullshit thing I have ever seen in my life. Why on Earth would a woman exclude a man or woman who was trans. Fuck that noise. Trans people are da bomb. I am Transexual. I knew this in 2007, and it has taken me more than a decade to come to full awareness of my lifetime Identity. I do believe that Transexuals are unfortunately locked into a past life that is opposite of their current birthright sex. I was born a woman, but when I visited Japan when I was seven years old, I was called a boy. I knew I was a Tomboy when I was eight, and when I was eleven I read the book Tomboy and had my first sexual awakening. When I was seventeen and an angry Ani Difranco enthusiast, my mother accused me of being my abusive rapist grandpa. Yes, that one kind of hurt. In 2007 I spent three months psychotic and came out searching for Trans support groups in Seattle and believing I had testicles low in my abdomen. I also thought they were spider egg-sacks, but that is another story. I now am 39, and my best friends are Trans and Metagender, and I feel at home with these two beautiful people. My husband is Kleinfelders, a letter that does not exist in LGTBQIAA2SN... and perhaps they need to add a K. There is also XXX for the feminine, who are not as lucky and usually always come out disabled. Steve (XXY) was supposed to be sterile and we had a miracle baby when I was 20 that was aborted due to my Schizoaffective disorder. So here are my labels... Female, Anorexic-Bulemic, Alcoholic, Schizoaffective - Bipolar Type, and Transexual. I believed I was Bisexual for many years, but I never participated in the Queer community because of the fact that this did not fit, I believe. I also came out as a Lesbian in College (1998) when I was dating women. So here we are. It is 2018, and I think I am done labeling myself. Thank God for that. We need to transcend the labels, but in order to do that we must first identify them. Trans Inclusive Radical Feminist (Much better, ladies).
