Audre Lorde

"The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual place, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling. Recognizing the power of the erotic within our lives can give us the energy to pursue genuine change within our world

This differs from my (current) personal viewpoint on the matter, but it's really interesting. I'm going to write this down and bring it to work tomorrow to think about in my spare time!

Cool. I'm not sure how much I agree with the quote. I am trying to figure out which parts I buy and which parts don't work for me. But I think this is true: So we are taught to separate the erotic from the most vital areas in our lives other than sex.

I really like your icon, by the way. What is it?

It's an encaustic painting by Mark Karasick. I believe the title is "Lily 7."
