Today has been so emotional for me.. The dancing this AM for One Billion Rising,the videos and posts about the horror woman around the world go through.I not only felt for the female sex but also felt for men who can't allow their feminine side out and for gay men like Adam who do let their feminine side show and are mocked for it.We need to Evolve and I believe women hold the key to that evolution.

The Poem "I am an Emotional Creature" by Eve Ensler at the end of her talk on the above video.. is so worth hearing..
Happy V day everyone.

Melliemom, I'm so glad you danced this morning for One Billion Rising! And thanks for bringing your enthusiasm and videos back to Adamtopia. I'm going to a candle light march and dance and celebration this evening. I'm so excited to go, and have been sending information about the event to all my friends and neighbors.

Like you, I also think that empowering women will help empower gay men, feminine men, and even straight men. Straight men have power from traditional roles, but they can gain a more meaningful power by being part of a community of equals, a world of shared rights, responsibilities, and respect. And in the same way the work to empower LGBT men and women empowers us all. I'll be dancing tonight for the end of violence towards women and girls, and for equality and respect for everyone so that we all can one day become our truer, more complete selves, and accept one another for both our differences and our similarities.

Also, big Yay! to Mszue, who is going to dance, and Mahalia's son who is going to an event!

Oops, rambling on... Aging hippie - does it show?? Hahah

peace&love

I just love what you have to say and so appreciate your activism... tearing up again..

Roses are red, violets are blue
Adam and Sauli paddle their own canoe

Ever since that Tootsie Pop that night at Jenny Woo's
This sweet love fused two blazing hearts like crazy glue
And some folks call it cray-cray, foolish, or naive
But all around this sad old world, we whisper, "I believe."

So for all the girls and boys who cheered (with no apologies)
When the dish ran away with the spoon
For all who hoard those last few ounces of fairy dust
To spend on ever-lasting Rakastan, on music, faith, and trust

For this day for lovers -- let's hear for the boys!
May they never cease to love
Here's to tears and hugs and joys

Adam and Sauli
Adam and Sauli
When you're together we feel like hot tamales

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ATOP!

Hail to fairy dust, music, faith and trust; to tears and hugs and joy! Hail to all the lovers and believers :))

) Happy Valentine's Day, Atop!

Theseus's comment on the powers of imagination ( AMND)

The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact.
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt:
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
Such tricks hath strong imagination,
That if it would but apprehend some joy,
It comprehends some bringer of that joy;
Or in the night, imagining some fear,
How easy is a bush supposed a bear!

I am proud to be an overinvested fan, warts and all. Kay and Aleks, kudos.

Put me in that drawer too.

I do feel better actually being a more vocal fan, so thank you for the outlet.

Just popping in for a moment to wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day.

It's my love's birthday today, so I'm always baking on Valentine's Day

. Never remember in time to get a reservation for a birthday dinner at a nice restaurant, though B-|. So in some ways I love V-Day, and in some ways I resent it, and it's perennially overbooked restaurants, lol.

Since people are all posting these nice One Billion Rising dance videos, I thought I'd post a relevant song--but don't let it harsh your Valentine Mellow. It seems a sad song but in fact its an empowering one--it's about a woman who stands up against an abusive lover. (It also contains one of the cleverest lines ever found in a pop-song: "For the girl with the hour-glass figure, time runs out very fast." LOVE Billy Bragg.)

"Valentine's Day is Over", by Billy Bragg:

Lyrics:
Some day boy you'll reap what you've sown
You'll catch a cold and you'll be on your own
And you will see that what's wrong with me
Is wrong with everyone that
You want to play your little games on

Poetry and flowers pretty words and threats
You've gone to the dogs again and I'm not placing bets
On you coming home tonight anything but blind
If you take me for granted then you must expect to find
Surprise, surprise

Valentine's day is over, it's over
Valentine's day is over

If you want to talk about it well you know where the phone is
Don't come round reminding me again how brittle bone is
God didn't make you an angel, the devil made you a man
That brutality and economy are related now i understand
When will you realize that as above so below there is no love

For the girl with the hour glass figure
Time runs out very fast
We used to want the same things but that's all in the past
And lately it seems that as it all gets tougher
Your idea of justice just becomes rougher and rougher

Thank you for the things you bought me thank you for the card
Thank you for the things you taught me when you hit me hard
That love between two people must be based on understanding
Until that's true you'll find your things
All stacked out on the landing, surprise, surprise ...

(Okay, here goes, fingers crossed, haven't posted anything fancy yet in this new system_
(PS--mods, feel free to delete if too OT)
