Paths of Pleasure

Oh sweet pulse
 Racing through my body
 Fueling every cell
 Every nerve
 To engage in this moment

To open myself and accept
 Is to honor that gift with true gratitude

The current that runs through my body builds
 Becoming more sensitive and aware
 Portals are opened
 Some are familiar…
 But some are places I haven’t seen in awhile
 Or are rare
 And sometimes they are places I’ve never been…

It fills me with a sweet intoxication
 Of wonder
 Of knowing
 Of being both large and small
 Of being filled with immense power and energy

I allow it all to flow through me
 Silently, but not passively, observing

I let it take it’s own path for the most part
 Feeding what needs to be fed
 Revitalizing and energizing anything that is depleted
 Releasing and healing any toxins or build up

Certainly some currents can be channeled
 Concentrated
 Intensified
 Occasionally causing explosions of bliss
 In those moments, we get a quick glimpse
 If we are paying attention…
 To the larger constructs

Pleasure is a natural elixir
 An important piece to the puzzle
 An infinite fountain to drink from
 The more we access it,
 The more we create pathways
 To return and expand

Pleasure is not just indulgent-it’s growth
 We have been trained to repress it
 To feel guilty about it
 To only allow it under certain circumstances
 This prevents us from understanding its full potential and power
 This prevents us from understanding OUR full potential and power…

We have been given this gift for a reason
 Do you honor it? Squander it? Lock it in a box? Try to control it? Only let it out on special occasions?
 The answer helps shape the direction of our lives…
