As much as we learn & connect inward, is that really enough to satisfy our search in our spiritual journey of ME? Sometimes we don’t see what’s always been right in front of us. Guided by an orbit of love we have the ability to define our own spiritual relationship with ourselves & the light we are drawn too. Sit with that !

Chosen family has been gifted not only to me but to many of us who have felt a sting of rejection by the family we are born with. Relationships come & go and it’s a blessing to get to a point of having both families be a part of our colorful lives. An undercurrent wave of discontent can lead to a breaking point. But a current of satisfaction, honesty & thoughtfulness can be the ingredients needed for a relationship of love & respect.

The feeling when one is slipping away theoretically or actually is a card to be dealt with. Because the emotion in the shadow of that feeling can be a wild card. Anger, Loss, Rejection & Fear may selfishly take the lead as a response in an unfortunate situation such as this. But it’s when we become aware of our EGO not serving us that we get the chance to expand in every way; mind, body and heart & with that we are led to love, LOVE! Your Aura is Grace & your ERA is Compassion…& that’s TEA!

Discovery of the moment or moments that allow you to express yourself emotionally & physically are never planned. It’s more of a click of nature that’s turned on inside of you. We live our lives full of exploration & attraction to self & others and that is a fundamental part of evolving to find comfort & confidence in our own skin. Dancer from the Dance takes you up & away in the drama of coming out , living your gayest life & most of all finding love , it’s all about LOVE!

Time is of the essence… & don’t you forget it! Gifts come with grace & when they are shared with love & trust the rest is simple. All involved can really enjoy the fruits of building something new together & when honesty becomes woven into a situation a foundation forms. As we dive in deeper into the fictional world of Dancer from the Dance, Sutherland schools the newbie as she reigns court in the club & the moment Malone makes his entrance under the disco light …the lust is instant, the desire is electric & one by one they all wanna SWALLOW him up in the darkness of the sex fueled halls & stalls!

The Ferry awaits so grab ahold of your clutch & pearls … all aboard to Fire Island ! Andrew Hollerans’ 1978 novel Dancer from the Dance is a tale of gay men celebrating the summers on Fire Island & will take you to the edge of the dance floor ! The land of the Loss & where Legends were born it was a time to LOVE & LIVE!
