Mind, Body & Vibration - Sex in the Single City

Early this Tuesday morning on June 12, 2010 -as I exit the Manhattan side of the Queens Borough Bridge, I passed by the homeless man with his two dogs: one a gray hairy Sheepdog and the other a grey-black Labrador Retriever.  In fear for the animal's well-being, I kept wondering if I should contact the Animal Rescue. But then I had second thoughts: it would be brutal to separate these dogs from their loving homeless owner.  The fact that he's still able to take care of them and these dogs are still looking well fed and healthy, did block my action to react according my own concerns - yes they are "my" concerns, not his.  As a Reiki Healer, I sat in a corner a block away from the homeless man and his two dogs and send the healing Intention symbols to them to find a better and healthier living situation. I figured that this man is not welcome in shelter because his love for his furry companions!

After I send Reiki healing, I spend a few moments to myself and reflecting on "my" own emotions, how it upsets me as a single women coming of age within this City.  I looked at the people passing by, some women like me - marching to the drums to their workplace, checking their cellphones.  What is life offering to them?  Being half unemployed and half self-employed myself after quitting the additional weekend job at the animal clinic - I am going back to my "Task-Rabbits" freelancing student life-style.  What does career and employment for a woman lead to if it doesn't end or go along into motherhood and wife-hood?

A woman's passage of rite is automatically submitting to motherhood. That's what's being a woman is about: nurture! One of my "chore-bunny" friends took up motherhood and she's doing well.  Despite the difficulties of premature childbirth, she still took up the breast-pump and worked its suction and breastfed after the baby came out of ICU. Even after 14 months have passed, she was still able to sell excess breast-milk to those mothers who tried but couldn't breast-feed their own little sucklings. Gotta make sure to be HIV negative to sell breast-milk.  A membership to the 'Mommies-helping-each-other-club' is useful.

So Far I haven't mentioned Daddy's input!!! Just the contribution of Daddy's seed is not enough! Having had a life as Daddy's Favorite girl (both my sister and I were Daddy's girls) I would not miss the chance of the presence of a father.  Even though, single parenting is not considered malignant, my personal & traditional cultural values and ideas dismiss it.

I hope to write more.....
