I thought the same thing when I first heard about it, and I still think they bear a striking resemblance to love-ins! Many have said throughout my earlier life that I have that hippy spirit, and many of my old poems have those flower age maxims echoed and referenced within them, so it probably comes to no surprise to many here I'm drawn to LoveTribe!

Awwwwwwwwww, thanks Linda! The same is certainly true with you, because you are, after all, an angel of the Earth!

Love,

Yay! Roniece is here!

I can't believe how much my life has changed for the better in such a short time. I found myself crying in ecstasy again today when I saw it beginning to rain for the first time in almost two months today in Portland, where we've been having the worst drought situation in half a century, and metaphorically I've had a drought in my heart prior to this year for a while, then to see the rain suddenly come immediately after the festival's end was metaphorical to me as though the drought is over, and the garden of my heart is now lush and verdant! It's such a beautiful sight to see, and I LOVE walking in the rain during the summertime in that the drizzle feels like gossamer to my skin!

I can't really post much ErosFest Northwest-related content on Facebook for obvious reasons, LOL, but I'll write a detailed blog entry about it, and a documentary filmmaker that was filming the whole festival will upload content soon on YouTube including the Flash Snuggle!

(huggies) Hope all has been well, my dearest friend!

Love,

Awwwwwwwwww, thanks Alison!

I can't wait to see you eavesdrop on our conversation tomorrow...............and learn once and for all which song of mine you've been streaming on your iPod!

Wow, this poem thread has suddenly turned into quite a chat thread! Much of that is certainly my own fault!

I'm blessed to have you as a friend, dearest Alison, yay!

Awwwwwwwwwww, thanks Arctic Wind!

I'm glad you enjoyed this read before bedtime! I just thought it was a simple, uplifting anthem that just expresses joy in its most simple, yet ethereal, form! (does happy dance)

Hope you're having a lovely summer too, my friend, yay!

I've just always found the flower power culture so colorful, so inspiring, so creative, and while some of the energies lost focus and were misdirected and led to some tragic setbacks with drug use and sporadic acts of violence, I believe wholeheartedly in the crux of the ideals the gypsies and rainbow gatherings espoused, as I believe they are just what the world needs much more of, and it's just a matter of keeping them disciplined in a constructive conduit that will make all the difference!

(hugs you with tears of warmth in his eyes) Awwwwwwwwww, thanks sooooooooo much! I know I am loved by many here, and I have missed everyone here soooooooooo much too. I feel I have literally grown up here, and everyone has observed me growing up before their very eyes, and so I can see how sentimental many feel here now reading the headlines that my heart is singing in life's highest octaves!

I absolutely know love is on the horizon, and that I am deserving of it. I guess, for a decade, I used to think that it was ideal to dream and aspire for a conventional friendship/romantic relationship, but I've decided, given how unconventional I am in the eyes of many and the way I communicate is different from the norm, I believe having a spiritual, sensual relationship with a dakini is the right place to begin for me, so then I know just how to love that special someone when I meet her and can fulfill all her non-verbal, deeper needs and desires. I've long been fascinated by Tantra as it is because I find it to be a very female-friendly kind of love/sensuality, where the woman is treated like a goddess and, at its core, there is a reciprocity/kinship unmatched by any other kind of love.

I've also long been enchanted by Tantra because it teaches us that everything that anyone experiences, regardless of whether it is usually judged as "good" or "bad", is part of our learning experience in life and an opportunity for growth. I've long been sexually frustrated, for one, and for a long time I felt ashamed at myself for letting myself get consumed with these intense feelings and just kept it all bottled up inside of me, which only led to deeper feelings of confusion, alienation and scarcity. In Tantra, such emotions aren't seen as "wrong" or "bad", but rather an exciting, positive opportunity to understand ones motivations about sex and anything in life.

So this is the choice I've made, and I absolutely believe in it. It's possible some may not agree with it, but I believe ultimately it will prove most beneficial for me and help me value and appreciate the subtle energy body and the more deeper, mystical aspects of my personality, which is great for ones physical, emotional and mental health!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh My Gosh! Craig, it's been soooooooooo long since I've heard from you! How have you been, my friend?

I've never been in as wonderful a place in my life as I am right now, and I'm absolutely convinced things will get even better as I continue to dip my toes into the sands of the community. I feel absolutely in control with myself and my life, and what's more is that I did it independently without having to sacrifice so much of myself.

I attended my first LoveTribe planning party last night also, and am already undergoing training soon to becoming an "angel" at gatherings, where I basically supervise each gathering and make sure everyone feels comfortable there and that all affectionate and sensual touch is safe, sane and consensual. I know this concept will still sound eccentric or bizarre to some here, but I think this is just one of those kind of things where it isn't until you actually set foot into such an event and observe yourself that you understand exactly how positive and fulfilling such an experience can be!

Yay, I can't wait to hear how you've been, my friend!

Love,
Noah Eaton
