After a wonderfully relaxing and playful holiday, away from everything in the Little Karroo, I was suprised to find myself overwhelmed and exhausted on returning to face the reality of the year. Sure, big changes are taking place and new adventures being created, but I'd prefer to be facing everything, meeting and matching the energy of my fear and pain, with fullness and openness.
So I've been working on my fitness levels, swimming and jogging a little every other day, and already I feel more energised and organised. I've also set my sights on running the Two Oceans half marathon on the 3rd of April and have decided to join and run with the Endurance Challenge Charity Trust (ECCT), raising funds for orphaned and affected child victims of South Africa's HIV/AIDS pandemic.

My one-year process of bringing awareness and focus to the life I live has begun. There is a small group of us doing this, scattered around the globe, and we were asked to do something to mark the beginning of our journey together.

There are different aspects to masculinity. This work is focused on the narrow slice about how we relate to and express our masculine in sexuality. It's an important slice, if not the crucial basis from which all other relating is infused. Osho is quoted as saying, "Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance.". If we are to rise to an authentic, honouring and empowered expression of the masculine it would be good to nurture and feed the roots of this possibility.
It's wine time again and this month
