Breaking

I think breaking can be a rather beautiful thing, don't you? When a tree grows brittle and falls, it crackles as it's heart tears. Like it is laughing at all the other trees, making its leaves chuckle and rustle with it. An inside joke about the strength we believe we have when we are whole. I think, the tree understands that breaking is its own strength, is its own kind of completeness, serves its own kind of purpose no more or less than others. Maybe that's what I am. The tree in the…

Who are made of other things

"The light won't hit me the way I wish it would.
It's always too soft or too gentle
Caressing my face and warming my skin from between clouds
Or hat covered lamps tipped in a respectful nod
But it won't strike me
Leave my face stinging…"
"You're welcome. Yes change is a new direction."
"@Sirian Starlight Thank you.
Change is often confused with death. "
"I think you are worth more than a permanent death."

"I Came Upon An Ancient Tree" by Scarlet Kisses (c)2006-2022
I came upon an ancient tree,Who gazed with gnarled branches' eyes:And stretched its limbs to deadened skies,Roots caked in fruitless misery.Its hair fell low, in weeping throes-Eyes hollow, streaked with painful screams,And as its skin is pecked by crowsIts blood gives way to broken dreams-Yet could I speak, to offer lifeOr bane to rippling seas of pain?But maggots surface in its strifeHang bone and flesh where love had lainWithin it lay an ancient seedEntangled roots beneath dead earth,Yet as…See More

Profile Information
- Gender, any & all.
- Agender (Please refer to me as He/Him)
- Area location: Country with Optional State, Province etc.
- USA
- Why I wish to join The Temple & how I found out about it...
- Truth be told I was going through my drive library and, in my reorganizing of my library catalogue, this link was listed. So I followed it and here I am. I don't recall when or why I put it on my library list but I suppose that is irrelevant to my current presence.
- Which spiritual path do you follow?
- My own. A simplistic answer seemingly dismissive or defensive depending upon the nature ones perspective.
- About Myself & My Interests...
- "To define is to limit."
-Oscar Wilde "The Picture of Dorian Gray"
Whenever a moment like this occurs I tend to stare at the little text box with some level of confusion and resistance. it seems to both acknowledge the complexity of "selfhood" and yet also confines it within the limitations of language, fractured social arrangements, and this teeny tiny box. It is problematic in a way that amuses me as it is so very human.
I often tell those closest to me that my name was created to encompass all that I was, am, or ever will be. My name is the only thing that does not entirely constrain or limit me, its field containing the most space for my "selfhood" than any other form of verbal communication could offer you.
My name is Pan.
Anything else is a journey of discovery and adventure.
- My Teachers & Influences, What was it about them that influenced me?
- Them.
- Authors and/or Books I appreciate:
- Well, I appreciate books in general and greatly respect those that create them. There are many books that I feel serve as either guides or mile markers on my path. Amongst them are Poets, Spiritualists, Scientists, Creatives, Philosophers, & Leatherfolx alike.
👤Some Authors I Appreciate:
- Lao Tzu
- Kahlil Gibran
- Guy Baldwin
- Geoff Mains
- Emily Dickinson
- Tamora Peirce
- Patricia C. Wrede
- etcetera
📚I Am Currently Reading:
- Way too much Harry Potter slash fiction...
- Musicians and/or Music I appreciate:
- Once again I find myself with the same answer as I did with the Authors/Books section. I listen to a myriad of musical genre's and artists and very rarely claim any as more preferred over another. I listen to whatever suits my mood, sometimes that means EDM in order to help myself out of a depression funk or it means listening to something dark or angry to validate the emotions I am feeling. It all depends.
The songs I tend to love the most are ones that either align with my journey as a submissive (something I tend to view less as a role one assumes and more as an identity, vocation, or spiritual path), or aligns with my core values.
🎧 Music That Currently Resonates With Me:
- Films and/or Film-Makers & Actors I appreciate:
- Dangerous Beauty is one of my favorite films. It helps that I also appreciate Veronica Franco whom the film is about although they romanticized her life quite a bit. As far as actors go I appreciate most for their dedication to an artform I have no talent nor skill in. I suppose if I had to pick a favorite actor I might nod toward Buster Keaton.
- Artists and/or Art I appreciate:
- You can always check out my favorites on deviantart: https://www.deviantart.com/nelui/
