DECONSTRUCT - THE MYTH OF SEX THROUGH EDUCATION

This is an afterthought conversation with a friend... 

Very often we do not know and are not aware whether it’s factual or fictional, fantasy or reality but the naked truth is that while speaking or hearing, seeing or writing we come across words associated with s^x such as desire (libido), and arousal that makes us known as sensual relational existential beings. We, humans, are inherently sexual beings. It is natural, and one of the basic needs (I would add) which is very normal and ordinary to have the mood “turn on” and be and live (entwined, energized, entangled, entertained, and educated ) our sexuality. It is very necessary to have sexual confidence (being comfortable and being communicable) and consent (affirmation, attraction, and affection). The body accepts pleasurable (curiosity, discovery, intimacy) gestures (soft - kiss, embrace, hug, touch, cuddle and/or hard-) that is highly relative (orgasms and orgies) leads to expressions (satisfaction, glorification, and liberation) in a very subjective (passionate pain) way. But I don’t understand why we call it and say: it’s taboo, it’s sacred, it’s bad and I don’t know why we unnecessarily create (make a trap) a belief (religious, spiritual, political, cultural, emotional) of a social construct (right/wrong, good/bad, do’s/don't). Of course, we need to take the necessary precautions, and preventions in the act of foreplay, or orgasms with (bi-, or pan-) or without a partner (things) to avoid the damage (emotional, psychological, physical, social, cultural, financial) and risks (diseases) to oneself and the other. Are we able to challenge and deconstruct the myths of sex with an open mind (conscience and consciousness) and the right resources (channelize)? Therefore, grow to live and be sex educated.

 

 

WORLD CONSECRATED DAY

In 1997, Pope John Paul II called for consecrated life to be promoted throughout the universal Church. The World Day for Consecrated Life is to be celebrated on 2nd February, the feast which commemorates the presentation which Mary and Joseph made of Jesus in the temple "to present him to the Lord" (Lk 2:22).

In the words of Pope Francis (2022): “The missionary dream of reaching out to all is the project of love”.

The joy of WE - No one, no one, should be excluded or feel excluded from this journey; no one, no one, should think it doesn't concern me

Participation - I recognize myself as part of a shared project strong in the conviction that we can only receive and give Good

Responsibility - we cannot but be among others and with others (https://www.vaticannews.va)

While all the baptized are called to share a common relationship with God: to be “religious” (RFC).

The trust that this World Day of prayer and reflection will help the particular Churches to treasure evermore the gift of consecrated life and to be measured by its message, to find the proper and fruitful balance between action and contemplation, between prayer and charity, and between commitment in the present time and eschatological hope (https://www.vatican.va)

This Feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples (USCCB).

Walking Away, Letting Go…

 I don’t know why I love her

She stole my heart & my soul

Her beauty and simplicity, her smile and looks

She looks so beautiful that it hurts everyday

And I don’t know why she is the only one that makes me feel so

Yellow is her color

And now I am on the spur of singing buffalo…. “Buffalo Soldier”

On this winter night, I want to feel all the wit and might

I never ever thought I’ll cry for someone

But for her, I literally shed my tear

I even begin to drink which I never did before

I even proposed to her and never ever received an answer yet

I feel rejected, I feel broken, and I feel hopeless

Every night I dream and think of her

And I wonder why She has not yet given me an answer

 

There was a time we were so close

That in every picture we could pose

But in time we got distant

2022 has given me hopes

Because after a long time she spoke

And now I am even more confused

And even more complicated

That I don’t know what it is and will it go on

Maybe it’s my mistake to start it all

 

For me, it was never about the body

But her personality, character, and the way she is

Every time I listen to her song (100 Words)

I kept getting closer to her

What’s my fault that I fell for her?

I got to know only one thing that love is gone

Why is love so complicated?

That I can’t feel, I can’t see, I can’t understand, I can’t have it

Is there something wrong with me or with my thoughts….. I do not know

Wish there was more to have like whisky and rum, family and friends, music.

This is only an expression of my friend's heart, mind, and soul and his feelings for the one he...
