“The KISS of an Angel: “My lips are sealed” (David Hartnell), or were they!?

“A ‘DANCING’ Within Innocence -sexuosity within sensuosity”   *This painting has now been finished after a psychological process of more than three months…

A vulnerability, an angIsh, tears/moisture at the back of my eyes -the repercussions of MASCULARISATION come RELIGIO-Colonisation of homosexuality, the body/the mindsets and paradigms of the dualistic brain/sensuosity/sexuosity and the arts!

It has been some 66 years since i was enthralled by the physicality come sensuosity of Poul Gnatt and the inaugural tour of the RNZBalletC in 1957 – https://www.stuff.co.nz/…/the-danish-dancer-who-become…

within the last couple of years we have seen two male bodies dancing together on “Dancing with the Stars” – https://gayexpress.co.nz/…/dancing-with-the-stars-eli…/

male bodies kissing within a classical ballet work – https://gayexpress.co.nz/…/royal-new-zealand-ballet…/

and a contemporary dance movie, Kit Reilly –

-66 years of waiting for confirmation/affirmation/celebration and the opening of the greater human potential of the heart …

I DROP Down into the ANGUISH OF HOW IT HAS HIGHLY LIKELY SUBLIMELY/UNCONSCIOUSLY AFFECTED MY AND MANY OTHER MEN’S LIVES! I DROP Down! I DROP Down!* Where are the somatic tears of my brothers?

And behind the tears is a jubilation for having the capacity of Knowing and recognising the social construct within an intergenerational lens -i can die with greater resting in that a piece of the work has been completed…we continue to wait for womyn, transgender etc. to dance together unconditionally… TOWARDS THE UNCONDITIONAL RECLAIMATION OF OUR SOMATIC INNOCENCE, SEXUOSITY WITHIN SENSUOSITY FOR ALL -hetero-, lesbian, gay bi-sexual (pansexual, Two-Spirit), transgender (non-binary/beyond binary) intersex asexual celibate monastic+

As sis-brothers and bro-lovers, the heart Innocence of our sexuosity within sensuosity -holding, ’stilling’, a ‘caressing’ of lips …

FLUIDITY, Non-Binary: unconditional divinity of the vagina, the mouth, the anus and the somatic sensuality of the human body per se
I am now considering the term non-binary as it pertains to contexts eg. somatic communication, sexual intimacy, dancing etc.
Vaginal, oral and anal sexual intimacy are all centres of pleasure. It just so happens that one part of the human body has been ‘colonised’ as normal (normalised) (ie. a quasi-genetically pre-determined function, cleaner, less animalistic etc.) while the other is deemed unnatural because some heterosexual members of a given population hold on to a paradigm and a subsequent myth-making that says that sex is for procreation. Please do your own ‘bedroom research’ and self-publish your data, the conclusions of current research are incorrect!
“If there are infinite ways for our bodies to look, our minds to think, personalities to act — wouldn’t it make sense that there’s that much variety in biological sex, too?” asks intersex activist Emily Quinn. She speaks at TEDWomen 2018: Showing Up, on November 29, 2018, in Palm Springs. (Photo: Marla Aufmuth / TED)
Let’s talk about (biological) sex. We put people in boxes based on their genitalia, says intersex activist Emily Quinn, as if what’s between somebody’s legs tells you anything about that person — their kindness, generosity, humor. As an intersex individual who was born with both a vagina and and testicles, Quinn has been told since she was a child (and still as an adult) that her biology puts her at risk — despite the fact that a surgery to remove her genitals would most likely do more physical and emotional harm than good. Quinn asks: What constitutes a man, a woman? Does lacking or having certain organs disqualify a person from being who they are? Much like gender, biological sex exists on a spectrum and shouldn’t be boiled down to just male and female, she suggests. There are so many other human traits that have more than two options — think: hair color, eye colour, complexion, height, even noses. Globally, intersex people aren’t rare or new; they’ve existed throughout every culture in history and represent about 2 percent of the global population — the same percentage as genetic redheads. (For scale, 2 percent is roughly about 150 million people, more than the entire population of Russia.) “If there are infinite ways for our bodies to look, our minds to think, personalities to act — wouldn’t it make sense that there’s that much variety in biological sex, too?” Quinn asks.

“The Softening of Dusk: as ‘The Light’ from within is awakening”

“PHALLUSING: at the mouth of the glacier“

“Smouldering to Burn Out, from Childhood to Adulthood: … in remembering and pushing through to a greater sense of our ever present ‘divinity’ at every opportunity and against all odds …“

“The Heart of Body Energetics (sexuality/somatics/brain): backed by the Light” May we remind ourselves of Rainbow and other cultures for male bodies with life giving energetics that sit beside the religio-culture of this day. Put simply, an important piece of ‘the work’, may be that our/your male body, brain/mind becomes ever more willing to be ‘present’/drop down into and experience the energetics of resting our/your head against the heart of the chest with the lips towards the male nipple. -male sovereignty begins at home, first!?..”

“the FLUKING of Whale: breathing, sounding, gesturing, ‘stilling’ -connecting effortlessly, a nothingness”
(Referenced to a friend’s totem of whale.
This was the first time that i have looked into a painting to see the possibility of mirage in a human form, and bring that forth)

“Innocent Lovemaking: from within the heart of te kākahu (cloak), from within te wairua of sexuality -breathing from the place of heart”

Te Taonga, te tinanna, Energetics of the whole body -Divinity of skin, Divinity of hands, Divinity of genitalia, Divinity of arse, prostrate, Divinity of nipples, Divinity of mouth, tongue, Divinity of nose, Divinity of eyes

Innocence

Intuition

Creativity, lucidity, dreaming

A Knowing of a beyond, in time

Childlike

Of ‘The Light’ (te ao)

Of ‘buddha nature’

Of ‘Presence’

Mauri (spirit)

Between realms

Te Korekore (the Nothingness, the Void, the Pure Land, continuity over and beyond time -refer to Thich Nhat Hanh, Viet Namese Zen Buddhist) Returning to the breath Breathing from the place of heart …

For example, the Gelug tradition of Tibetan Buddhism with its reverence for the archaic Tsongkhapa text on sexual misconduct as perpetuated by the Dalai Lama –https://www.dalailama.com/news/2015/interacting-with-school-students-and-teaching-from-nagarjunas-fundamental-wisdom Oneroa, Waiheke Is., Auckland -use of acrylic, interference and iridescent acrylics, metallic pens, silver and gold leaf and handmade Thai mulberry paper as a screen (Canson 30.5 x 40.6; watercolour Acquarelle; cold press; grain fin; 300gms)
