passenger in Random Thoughts

“Here within the heart, the Self shines in its captivating splendor like a noonday sun.”

Shankaracharya

A lot has been going on, this journey unfolds and i am a passenger. Not just for the journey, but for this life. A passenger in this body....

A couple bullet points, because i have a lot of work to do, the end of the semester, grading, progress reports, an IEP, a re-evaluation…

TRE class (trauma, tension, release exercises), recommended for people who have trauma and stress held in the body- pretty much everyone out there!
More involuntary movement during meditation (have i even told you about that?)
A 3 hour deep core massage and body work
Meeting with a master rigger (ties people up) and solid member of the kink community.

Last, but in no way least, Jamie. I may have mentioned that i started talking with someone. Its magic. Its hard to admit that because i tend to not trust myself when it comes to relationships.

Jamie is an alternative high school teacher and working on master woodworking classes. He used to be very politically active in the teacher’s union in Portland. He is married.

Yes, i know. It may sound strange. I would never date anyone if it were unethical, and i would find that reprehensible. Jamie and his wife are in an open relationship, ethical non-monogamists, or polyamourous. I guess its a big thing in Portland. She has a girlfriend (and maybe a boyfriend?) and he has had other lovers. Even though we met on okcupid, he is my type, as in kinky. And my style of kink (dominant).

I don’t know what to say from here. I have spent the night at their house, Gaby made biscuits for breakfast (she is from Georgia). I feel 100% comfortable with this situation.

Ok, i have to go and get work done. More soon, i hope.
