Life Lessons
Just let things be in their own wayand there will be neither coming nor going.
Obey the nature of things (your own nature),
and you will walk freely and undisturbed.

Psychology and Love
The emotional bonds formed early in life lay the foundation for later lover relationships. Childhood attachments and adult romantic attachments are marked by physical closeness, caring, and long-term committment. Both nature and nurture are crucial factors in shaping attaachment style, and our patterns of relation can change.

After A While
After a while you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn mean learning and
company doesn mean security,
And you begin to learn that kisses aren contracts
and presents aren promises,
And you begin to accept your defeat with your head
up and you eyes open, with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child,
And you learn to build all you roads on today
because tomorrow ground is too uncertain for
plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if
you get too much.
So you plant your own garden and decorate your own
soul, instead of waiting for someone else to bring you
flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure...
That you really are strong,
And you really do have worth.

Marrige and Love
The supreme happiness of life is that we are loved....Victor Hugo, 1862
Carve out time to talk....we are born with two ears and one mouth for a definitive reason...because we need ot listen twice as much as we speak. Tuning out distractions, including the television, is the first step.
The second step is to listen without interruption. Ofcourse, conversation is a two way street. Although we think our partners know us inside and out, they are not mind readers. If we want them to understand us we have to speak up and mean what we say. Choosing the right time to talk about important matters is also a skill to be cultivated. Bringing a sensitive tipic just before bedtime is hardly wise.

I found this one on line he reminds me of someone that I once knew I sure wish he was here today this nigga is fine fine fine fineConcept of Twin Spirited people in Native American culture
Two-spirited people
The Two-spirited person is a native tradition that anthropologists have been able to date to some of the earliest discoveries of Native artifacts. Much evidence indicates that Native people, prior to colonization and contact with European cultures, believed in the existence of three genders: the male, the female and the male-female gender, or what we now call the Two-spirited person. The term Two-spirited, though relatively new, was derived from interpretations of Native languages used to describe people who displayed both characteristics of male and female.Traditionally, the Two-spirited person was one who had received a gift from the Creator, that gift being the privilege to house both male and female spirits in their bodies. The concept of Two-spirited related to today's designation of gays, lesbians, bisexual and transgender persons of Native origins. Being given the gift of two-spirits meant that this individual had the ability to see the world from two perspectives at the same time. This greater vision was a gift to be shared with all, and as such, Two-spirited beings were revered as leaders, mediators, teachers, artists, seers, and spiritual guides. They were treated with the greatest respect, and held important spiritual and ceremonial responsibilities.The arrival of the Europeans was marked by the imposition of foreign views and values on Native spirituality, family life and traditions. The missionary churches' views on sexuality, for example, created many new taboos. Many traditions, including that of the Two-spirited were eradicated or at least driven underground from many (but not all) tribes of North America. Once honored, some of today's Two-spirited people have been shamed, beaten, killed, isolated and driven from their homes. Dr. Terry Tafoya, a sexologist, storyteller and diversity educator from the Taos Pueblo Nation has warned, "our communities cannot survive if we cut off parts of ourselves". Along with others he has called for the restoration of the inclusion of Two-spirited people back into the circle of original belonging. It is not an accident that Two-spirited people are once again emerging in their communities at the same time and in the same way that the drum, the pipe, the sweat, the medicines and other sacred aspects of community and cultural life are returning.As a result of the impact of colonization, most Two-spirited people, their families, and the knowledge keepers in their communities today, hold little or no knowledge of the many rich and diverse traditions which recognized, valued and benefited from the special gift these individuals had been given. In consequence, Two-spirited people are not able to take their rightful place in their communities.
