Friends, Readers, Countrymen:<\/p>\n
In case you’re wondering what we’re up to this Valentine’s weekend, Planet Waves is re-publishing some of our favorite selections from the conscious relationship and sexuality genre. Each of these articles is designed, in some way, to inform you that you have a choice in how you express yourself in your emotional, affectual and erotic life. We are all programmed — more or less constantly — to act a certain way and to believe certain things: about our gender, about how to relate to others, and what is moral or ethical. All of this conceals one simple fact: we have, as a privilege of being alive and aware, a choice in how we relate to ourselves and others.<\/p>\n
One theme running through most of these articles is that the ability to relate to others, and to love others, begins with knowing, loving and trusting ourselves. From there, I have faith that anything is possible.<\/p>\n
I consider my writing something more akin to the first word, than the last word. Plealse take a few moments and add your comments to these articles, so that others can feel and appreciate your thoughts.<\/p>\n
Many thanks.<\/p>\n
Your scribe,<\/p>\n
