mkw_423@yahoo.com BioI think my interests give a fairly decent snapshot of who I am right now.
I live with my husband Gustavo in Arlington, Va. He has a girlfriend, Gail, in Fairfax, Va. My boyfriend, Mark, lives in Rockville, Md. We haven't formally identified as such, but probably tend toward polyfi - at least, *I* don't really feel open to taking any more lovers right now. Two seems like the most I can have at one time, without feeling "spread too thin" (as it were). After my two loves, I'm passionate about my friends and the group relationships I have in my life - right now, with Mountains and Rivers Order of Zen (in NY), Network for a New Culture, and Templo Guaracy of Washington. Group interactions and events energize me as few other things can. I often see people (including myself) most clearly when we interact not merely one on one, but with many people - our many facets shine most reliably, most brightly, when we are in "sangha." Sometimes that "shining" takes the form of "triggering" - it's not always pleasant, but it's always *revealing*. More than anything (even more than I want to hide, which is a lot), I want to see and be seen. It's often been a struggle for me to balance these two passionate and completely contradictory needs to hide and to be seen. Little by little, more and more, though, I spend my time in the light - bringing light gently to the dark corners.
My journal is a collection of random thoughts, dreams, questions, stuff that happens to me day to day. I always give myself permission to keep the entry private when I begin writing. That helps me be as candid as possible. Then, after I've written it, I decide whether I really *need* to keep it private. Often, I don't, but occasionally, I still do.
