quickie!

have we ever mentioned that we love soulbrother v.2?

well, we do.

and his new entry about black women being the new black is one of the reasons why. go read it!

our injured insults

have you ever noticed that some of our most stinging insults revolve around our genitalia?

cunt
prick
pussy
dick

we can do better than that, can't we? why do we insist on maligning the very parts that bring us so much pleasure, not to mention bring us into the world?  they should be the last aspects of our bodies that we relegate to such a lowly status.

in particular, the notion of a "pussy" being a weak, floundering and easily manipulated individual flies in the face of all the wonderful things the yoni actually does--from menstruation to birth and everything inbetween.  but we digress.

we can hear some of you thinking, "well, what about rising above our lower/animal nature?" and all that.

well, that can be a valid point.  we're not suggesting that you be led by your desires in a singular, detrimental way.  however, sexual energy can be diffused throughout the body to heal, enliven and strengthen*.  the willful separation of these energies from our higher, more ethereal ones is what has caused the most confusion, not desire itself.

so, the next time you need to insult someone--which should be rare, but if it's well deserved, have at it!--think about the words you're using. 

if they have to do with something you were just enjoying a few hours or days earlier, think twice.

your djed deserves better, and so does the gateway to life.


*do your homework re: semen retention. although the benefits have long been revered in several cultures, it's also physically beneficial to let go.

it's been a long time...

hey, beloveds!

don't wanna make any promises, but we're hoping to get back to blogging very, very soon. maybe even give this place a new paint job. we'll see what happens.

in the meantime - as always - we wish you love, peace, bliss & abundance!

stay tuned!

so remember when we mentioned the linger mint? well, now there's vajazzling!

{yes, you read that right. as in bedazzling.}

for a hilariously critical take on this whole debacle, check out the washington post's sexist beatdown.

to be clear, we support adornment of all kinds. but we have to agree with amanda and sady when they say if this is what it takes for your partner to fearlessly look your honeypot in the face, there might be a problem...

"window seat"
erykah badu

So, presently I'm standing
Here right now
You're so demanding
Tell me what u want from me
Concluding
Concentrating on my music, lover, and my babies
Makes me wanna ask the lady for a ticket outta town
So can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
Can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long bye bye..
But I need u to want me
Need you to miss me
I need your attention
I need you next me
I need someone to clap for me
I need your direction
Somebody say come back
Come back baby come back
I want u to need me
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
So, in my mind I'm tusslin'
Back and forth 'tween here and hustlin'
I don't wanna time travel no mo
I wanna be here
I'm thinking
On this porch I'm rockin'
Back and forth like lightning hopkins
If anybody speak to scotty
Tell him beam me up..
So can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
Window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long bye bye..
But I need you to miss me
Need somebody come get me
Need your attention
Need your energy yes I do
Need someone to clap for me
Need your affection
Somebody say come back
Come back baby come back
I want u to need me
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
Come back come back baby come back
But can I get a window seat
Don't want nobody next to me
I just want a ticket outta town
A look around
And a safe touch down
I just need a chance to fly
A chance to cry
And a long
Bye bye..

for the bliss of it...

"soldier of love"

I've lost the use of my heart
But I'm still alive
Still looking for the light
And the endless pool on the other si e
It's the wild wild west
I'm doing my best
I'm at the borderline of my faith
I'm at the hinterland of my devotion
I'm in the front line of this battle of mine
But i'm still alive
I'm a soldier of love
Every day and night
I'm a soldier of love
All the days of my life
I've been torn up inside
I've been left behind
Tall I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild, wild west
Trying my hardest
Doing my best to stay alive
I am love's soldier
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around
I am lost but i don't doubt
Tall I ride
I have the will to survive
In the wild, wild west
Trying my hardest
Doing my best to stay alive
I am love's soldier
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
Still wait for love to come
Turn it all around
I'm a soldier of love
I'm a soldier
