Your desires... should you allow them to come forward... may not turn out to be the craven, insatiable, self-serving beasts you've been told they are --- whether you're a woman or a man --- and, I'll wager, your sensitive and conscious engagement with them will guide you to choices that will serve you well.  And they might just change the world. 

HEY.  YOUR DESIRES CALLED.  They wanted me to pass along a few messages, ’cause they’ve noticed you don’t give them the kind of attention they deserve.  They’re guessing it’s because you don’t really know what they’re for or how they can help you, your relationship, and your magnificent work in the world.  But they (with a little scribin’ help from moi) can set the record straight.  Here goes.

Delight.  It’s long been my signature word.  Utter illumination.  Feeling lit from within by my own joy, my own capacity to deeply receive and savor the experiences of my life… both light and dark.

YOU.  ARE.  ALLOWED.  YOU’RE ALLOWED AND EVEN ENCOURAGED.  You’re allowed to need time (even lots and lots of time) alone in order to be balanced and happy.  Even when you love someone.

We’re both blessed and cursed to live in a time when yoga is a household word and the notion of taking time to ground and center yourself is not only accepted but encouraged.  Cursed, because the ego will use ANYTHING to its own wily devices.
