Dear Men …

Published September 13, 2022 by tindertender

We miss you.
Deeply.
When women gather together in circles..
we tell stories of how much we long for you. Crave you.
Pray for you to rise and meet us here.
We mourn your missing presence.
In our childhoods.
In the homes we’ve built without you.
In our beds.
We hold hands and beg God to set you free from whatever keeps you from standing at our sides.
Right here.
Here In intimacy.
In integrity.
In wholeness.
In freedom.
The places where you are caught in dishonesty..
shame..
fear..
addiction..
we grieve and rage over.
We see your pain and we see your power.
We miss you.
We love you.
We can’t wait for you to come home
For the men who have..
thank you so much.
Please call your brothers..
start men’s circles..
show them the manuals.
Tell them of what you gave up.
Of your brokenness and acceptance.
Of what it truly means to take up the mantle of protector.
Please.
There aren’t enough fathers..
resources and leaders for men to sit at the feet of.
The women have tried.
We can’t do it.
The restoration must come from within the Masculine.
The Feminine cannot mother grown men into wholeness.
We cannot strap men to our backs and walk.
We tried.
We bow out.
Not gracefully.
But in mournful acceptance nonetheless.
And we will wait for you to burst free from the shackles patriarchy has placed on you.
We pray.
We pray.
We pray.
For the Great Remembrance.~

You Are The Medicine

Published September 11, 2022 by tindertender

“Heal yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon, with the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds.

Heal yourself with mint, and take eucalyptus.

Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary and chamomile.

Embrace yourself with the cocoa bean and a hint of cinnamon.

Put love in tea instead of sugar, and look to the stars.

Heal yourself with the kisses the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain.

Become strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that comes out of it.

Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead.

Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier.

Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember… you are the medicine. “

Maria Sabina, Mexican curandera (medicine woman) and poetess.

Love Your Body …

Published September 8, 2022 by tindertender

… It has carried you in a good way up to now.

This world teaches people to be dissatisfied with their body, their “house”. If you hate your body, it makes it easier for entities to “walk in”, taking over.

Your body is your sacred temple. It houses your spirit, your soul, your potent essence. It is worthy of the utmost love and respect.

What it looks like matters little, of course we’d all like to be fit.

It’s the one gift from Creator that carries us through this experience. Don’t give it away like a cheap commodity.

It holds that which is Sacred.

Cherish it.

It’s Alright

Size Doesn’t Matter

Unless your flashlight is your club.

This is really interesting …

Sometimes well known folks only have a little light in them, but they get all the attention thru contracts with the media.

We little humans, who rest apart from that, shine ever so brightly.

Do the work to reformat negative self talk.

Your value is immense, and not just to those who violate.

Authenticity

Published August 31, 2022 by tindertender

Love is giving someone the ability to destroy you, but trusting them not to.

Yet they try … time and time again.

True Love allows people to show their authentic selves. It can hurt, yes, but it’s a service many of us provide.

When people are not authentic, when they are master manipulators, giving them the reins shows us their authenticity.

It’s the back door to hidden behaviors.

One way or the other, people will …

“What dost thou know of love?”

Published August 24, 2022 by tindertender

I don’t know anything about love, so I’m teaching myself, by loving myself.

Old patterns disintegrated.

Only room for the new.

The new “old”.

Some people were allowed to live a life cultivating love, supported. Others of us were stripped of it and gifted suffering instead. But many of us remain in love, in our hearts, despite the controlling violators efforts. It’s what we are.

You must decide you have it in you.

Or not.
