Wishing on Airplanes

I have a new blog!

I’m currently working on a blog about my journey through yoga teacher training, what I’m reading and everything about yoga, Eastern philosophy etc. If you want to check it out go to livebreatheyoga108.tumblr.com

So I cracked and got an iPhone…please don’t judge me, I had a really old, crap phone for a long time and it was time for an upgrade. Seriously, it needed to happen. However, since I know that I always end up dropping my phone (moreso than the average person I assure you, I’m pretty klutzy) I splurged and got myself this awesome Deanne Cheuk iPhone case…it’s so pretty!!!

There is no Them. There are only facets of Us.

Quietness

fuckyeahrumi:

Inside this new love, die.

Your way begins on the other side.

Become the sky.
Take an axe to the prison wall.

Escape.
Walk out like somebody suddenly born into color.

Do it now.
You’re covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side.

Die,
and be quiet. Quietness is the surest sign
that you’ve died.

Your old life was a frantic running
from silence.

The speechless full moon
comes out now.

- Jelaluddin Rumi

The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Sex has historically been key to controlling women. The hatred of women began with the fear of our sexual power. the beginning was religion, men’s fear and contempt of their own sexuality and fear of women’s sexual power. Sexual women were branded “whores” in a successful attempt at repressing our sexuality through shame, while at the same time it was acceptable for men to take sexual favors from us whether through owning us in marriage, buying us as whores, or forcing us through rape. In a land-owning society, it was important to control women’s sexual behavior and keep them monogamous and faithful to their husbands so that them men could know who their rightful heirs were. People often ask me why I consider women’s sexual liberation to be so important. I point out that human beings forced to function without full access to every part of their being, including and especially something as vital a force as their sexuality, are functioning at only partial capacity. It keeps us down.
