Yet knowing  how way leads on to way ,. I doubted if I should ever come back. - Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken. As humans, we have the special capacity to imagine future scenarios, in order to prepare for them. This is what has allowed us to rise to the top of the food chain.  But the ability to foresee future problems only helps us if we are using this foresight to look far down to  "where it bent in the undergrowth, " to quote Frost again and then make a decision as to which path we prefer.  Choice, also known as free will- gives us the rare advantage of preventing future problems from ever happening. What happens when we become complacent, lazy, or too busy to look up and see where we're headed? A s one foot follows another we must be sure we're not simply letting ourselves fall in step with the people in front of us or we will find ourselves unwittingly dancing to some Pi'd Piper's tune, heading straight for a cliff. To be the Creators of our own

First comes Love, then comes Marriage, then comes having sex. Anyone who has sex, without the explicit intention and purpose to create a new life, is simply pretending that's not what the act was made for. No wonder scripture is so adamant about protecting the marriage bed. It's where we get to create life of our own. Making love; is our given moment in time, to bear witness and yield to the Universe's abundant and expansive creative energy. Where life that did not exist before, is suddenly sparked into existence by the mutual love shared between its parents and is carried until birth without anything more than the genetic coding it began with. I'm not sure it's possible to be in this sacred act of intercourse, without at least acknowledging the scope and breadth of what you're doing, even if it's only a split second, ["Did I remember to bring a condom? I don't need to have kid right now." "I wonder if he could be the guy for me? Did I t

The Pitiful Prostitution of the Single Mother LeAnne Love (c) 2015 This month was a close call. I paid rent twenty days late, receiving my second 72 hour notice.. I could have had my rent paid a week ago, when a long time woman friend of mine offered to ask her boyfriend about loaning me the money. Driving along, while  I listen  over my speakerphone, she lays out her proposition, "I think that if you me and Dave have a threesome, then I'll ask him to loan you the money, and he won't say no." I'm slack jawed. My driving companion seems less surprised and shrugs as if to say 'Well it's money.'  Just two weeks ago, a male friend of mine had texted me a picture. A crisp $100, laying on his bed. How nice, I guess he was short on the landscaping work I'd asked about, a year ago. I declined  both these offers, nevertheless, I am wondering now, if I were on TANF (welfare cash assistance), would I have to report such earnings? Is there a box for that

The Things we fuck up, and why do we do them? Out of what Great Fear do we set ourselves out for ruin? What began as self-undoing became complete destruction. Hell bent to destroy our deliberate constructions. Does the grief wrought to ourselves stand as a measure to our worthiness? Or stand countenance to the sturdiness of the common bonds we all seek? Why do we tear away at the things we hate? Wouldn't it be far saner to relate to all those fears bore down by others, as reflective to our inner state? The Love we feel is missing, is only the love we refuse to make. And before we beg a spirit 'Listen!' One must truly know what they're about to say.
