"When we open ourselves up to receive how others perceive, we then enrich our own lives." ~ Quotes-By-Artsieladie
| "When we stop allowing societal stigmas to keep us from Loving one another, hence giving power to hatred and resentment, we will then be free to Love one another freely without judgment, without conditions that are designed by default to undermine that which connects and bonds us all ...and this IS Love." |

"Awesomeness"
| Be the best of who you can be, Awesome then you shall be! Be the best of who you are, You will shine then like a star! Fill your heart with Love, For hate, there'll be no space! Brightly shine your Light, Like a beacon every place! Awesomeness needs no announcing, For words don't make it so, Awesomeness shines from within, From Love and Light that glow! |

| "I don't Love casually. When I Love, it's fierce. It's my soul ripped Wide open and raw. It's my Whole heart on display. It's all I have and Everything I know, Handed over to You, Like a gift, And I hope You Unwrap it gently." -s.l.- |
I think this is the ONLY way TO Love. <3
"Love Balloon"
edited from original| I wrote his name on a balloon, Encircled it in a heart. Soon my fingers to release it, Soon it shall depart. As I watch it rise into The heavens high above, I've sent it to the Universe, Proclaiming all my Love. What has been a secret Kept hidden deep inside, Is a secret no longer As the fear did subside. For so long fear held me captive, Fear my heart imprisoned, But now I'm free to feel the Love My heart has envisioned. It matters not what others say Nor whatever they perceive, My heart’s now free to Love And in Love to believe. |

| I wrote his name on a green balloon, encircled it in a heart. Soon my fingers will release it, soon it shall depart. As I watch it rise into the heavens high above, I've sent it to the Universe, proclaiming all my Love. What has been a secret kept hidden deep inside, Is a secret no longer when the fear did subside. For so long fear held me captive, fear my heart imprisoned, But now I'm free to feel the Love my heart has envisioned. It matters not what others say nor whatever they perceive, My heart is now free to feel the Love and in it to believe. |

This is the Mature Masculine
- the New Warrior -
a re-definition of masculinity for the 21st century.
"The New Macho"
| He holds himself accountable. He knows what he feels. He knows how to cry and he lets it go. He knows how to rage without hurting others. He knows how to fear and how to keep moving. He seeks self-mastery. He has let go of childish shame. He feels guilty when he's done something wrong. He is kind to men, kind to women, kind to children. He teaches others how to be kind. He says he's sorry. He stopped blaming women or his parents or men for his pain years ago. He stopped letting his defenses ruin his relationships. He stopped letting his penis run his life. He has enough self-respect to tell the truth. He creates intimacy and trust with his actions. He has men that he trusts and that he turns to for support. He knows how to roll with it. He knows how to make it happen. He is disciplined when he needs to be. He is flexible when he needs to be. He knows how to listen from the core of his being. He's not afraid to get dirty. He's ready to confront his own limitations. He has high expectations for himself and for those he connects with. He looks for ways to serve others. He knows he is an individual. He knows that we are all one. He knows he is an animal and a part of nature. He knows his spirit and his connection to something greater. He knows his higher purpose. He loves with fierceness. He laughs with abandon, because he gets the joke. |

"If You Want to Change the World, Love a Woman" (2008)
| From Lisa Citore: When a fairly spiritual male friend of mine who had finally found and was deepening into committed relationship with his soul mate confided in me he was thinking of being single again, and in the next breath expressed his latest idea for raising consciousness worldwide, I wrote this poem. |
| If you want to change the world… love a woman-really love her. Find the one who calls to your soul, who doesn’t make sense. Throw away your check list and put your ear to her heart and listen. Hear the names, the prayers, the songs of every living thing- every winged one, every furry and scaled one, every underground and underwater one, every green and flowering one, every not yet born and dying one… Hear their melancholy praises back to the One who gave them life. If you haven’t heard your own name yet, you haven’t listened long enough. If your eyes aren’t filled with tears, if you aren’t bowing at her feet, you haven’t ever grieved having almost lost her. If you want to change the world… love a woman-one woman beyond yourself, beyond desire and reason, beyond your male preferences for youth, beauty and variety and all your superficial concepts of freedom. We have given ourselves so many choices we have forgotten that true liberation comes from standing in the middle of the soul’s fire and burning through our resistance to Love. There is only one Goddess. Look into Her eyes and see-really see if she is the one to bring the axe to your head. If not, walk away. Right now. Don’t waste time “trying.” Know that your decision has nothing to do with her because ultimately it’s not with who, but when we choose to surrender. If you want to change the world… love a woman. Love her for life-beyond your fear of death, beyond your fear of being manipulated by the Mother inside your head. Don’t tell her you’re willing to die for her. Say you’re willing to LIVE with her, plant trees with her and watch them grow. Be her hero by telling her how beautiful she is in her vulnerable majesty, by helping her to remember every day that she IS Goddess through your adoration and devotion. If you want to change the world… love a woman in all her faces, through all her seasons and she will heal you of your schizophrenia- your double-mindedn which keeps your Spirit and body separate- which keeps you alone and always looking outside your Self for something to make your life worth living. There will always be another woman. Soon the new shiny one will become the old dull one and you’ll grow restless again, trading in women like cars, trading in the Goddess for the latest object of your desire. Man doesn’t need any more choices. What man needs is Woman, the Way of the Feminine, of Patience and Compassion, non-seeking, non-doing, of breathing in one place and sinking deep intertwining roots strong enough to hold the Earth together while she shakes off the cement and steel from her skin. If you want to change the world… love a woman, just one woman . Love and protect her as if she is the last holy vessel. Love her through her fear of abandonment which she has been holding for all of humanity. No, the wound is not hers to heal alone. No, she is not weak in her co-dependence. If you want to change the world… love a woman all the way through until she believes you, until her instincts, her visions, her voice, her art, her passion, her wildness have returned to her- until she is a force of love more powerful than all the political media demons who seek to devalue and destroy her. If you want to change the world, lay down your causes, your guns and protest signs. Lay down your inner war, your righteous anger and love a woman… beyond all of your striving for greatness, beyond your tenacious quest for enlightenment. The holy grail stands before you if you would only take her in your arms and let go of searching for something beyond this intimacy. What if peace is a dream which can only be re-membered through the heart of Woman? What if a man’s love for Woman, the Way of the Feminine is the key to opening Her heart? If you want to change the world…love a woman to the depths of your shadow, to the highest reaches of your Being, back to the Garden where you first met her, to the gateway of the rainbow realm where you walk through together as Light as One, to the point of no return, to the ends and the beginning of a new Earth. |
