The poetry keeps beating me

All the Good men are gay?

A friend recently reblogged this:

THEY ARE ALL GAY. I LOVE GAY MEN BUT THIS IS GETTING ANNOYING.

And I dunno, maybe it’s the way I’m feeling today, perhaps it’s the weather… But the unintended inference is that because I am not gay, i’m not desirable or good. 

Now, at this point many of you, my friends, are reaching for the “don’t take it so personally, Garreth” card. It’s not about taking it personally, it’s about that core rule of shamanic practice; be impeccable with your words.

Our words, our thoughts become our reality and our reality not only affects our own lives, but the lives of everyone who listens to our thoughts, to our words, to who we are; when the reality of others seeks to negatively impact our own, we stop listening and we stop caring. 

I shall be impeccable with my words. We like people for who they are, the human beings that they are. We do not choose to fall in love with someone, we fall in love because that person sets our hearts aflame with passion, with soaring excitement, they fill us with bubbles of some kind of undefinable effervescence and it drives us to become closer to them than to any other human being. I’m not just talking about sex. The people who do that to us are not abundant, if they were then love would lose its value. So, I urge you to be grateful for that because when you find a person that does excite, it makes all the seeking worthwhile.

In the meantime; be impeccable with your words for they become you. Absolutes are the children of an unwillingness to change and despair; despair is an island forgotten on a lonely sea and I can’t fathom that anyone would wish that to be their reality.
