Hero Time: Dossie Easton

A friend of mine recently shared a link to an interview with Dossie Easton with me.  I’ve mentioned her before on this blogsite, she’s one of the co-writers of “The Ethical Slut”, “The New Bottoming Book”, “The New Topping Book”, and a few other titles I love and cherish as the sex geek booklover I am.  Over a decade ago it was The Ethical Slut’s language around behavior, desire, and organizational rules around ethical loving that got me really thinking about what I wanted in my own relationships, and allowed me the freedom to keep my mind and heart open to even the scariest adventures I’ve been on since.

Dossie talks about words and how language changes our perceptions of ourselves as well as of what’s possible, about relationships and how important it is to respect all the configurations of family making, she touches on a history of the publishing company Greenery Press, and I learned a lot from the article I didn’t already know.  She’s lived a remarkable life and many of her viewpoints are ones that have resonated with me throughout my entire adult life.

So, today I invite you to take a look too.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did, and I hope it inspires you to even a fraction of the amount it has me:  Wag’s Review: Dossie Easton

Decoupage

I want you to cut me.  Not with a big heavy broad chef’s knife, or the dagger looking so beautiful and mean, but the small thin, delicate one.  The one that separates clouds from the sky, kittens from their window perches, and little girls holding flowers from the meadow behind,  I want the knife that can free anything at all from it’s steadily monotonizing environment, allowing new context in our rearrangement.

If you trace lines along the sides of my body that will fit perfectly in a cage, I am yours forever skulking around between these bars.  Should you shape me into a flying monkey’s form, I’ll fetch your broom and wait silent for your next move.  If I’m to be a battleground, I wait for soldiers to nestle themselves into my curves at night and dream of safety blanketed by my scent.  And if I am me, walking on the ocean’s surface toward the dawn, I’ll feel your hands and warm breath at my back.

I want you to cut me.  Shape me into pieces and scenes that are surprising and delight.  I’ll be your monster, your favorite shirt, your washer woman, your mechanic, your blanket, your paper, and your pet.

Sorry to Make You Wait…

I am pretty sick this week.  The tour I am on just ended, but we still have another week of driving and dropping off various bits of equipment and vehicles before finding rest back at home.  In the name of pacing myself, I’ve decided to leave you high and dry this Friday, and I am very sorry about that, however my lungs and woozy brain are thanking me.

I will leave you wonderous things to read on Monday, and we’ll be back for “W is for…” next Friday.

In the meantime, here’s a photo I hope you like as much as I do:
