This is a post about breastfeeding, about its abstractions into universal consciousness, connections to unconditional loves and why it is, to me personally, one of the most intriguing facets of life.

Why suckling?

Before I sleep in the silence of the night, I ponder life. What I'm grateful for and what it feels like I'm missing. And the same thing comes to light again and again. Have you ever been so close to someone that you were almost an extension of one another? Personal space didn't exist - not because you didn't respect the boundaries of one another, but rather because there was no separation between the 2 of you, to begin with. They're always just there, within reach of your thoughts, your emotions, and yourself.

I crave that connection and the space that goes with deepening it. A love not necessarily romantic, but universal. Breastfeeding stems from this appreciation for universal connection.

In life, there's this motion that exists in all things, like the tide of the ocean, the fluid in our spine moves at the same pace, the fluid inside a single-celled organism does the same, the peristalsis of our intestine moves at the same rate. In cranial sacral therapy, this is referred to as the breath of life. It's this motion, this pulsation that not only reminds us we're alive but provides a gateway to connect to all living things.

Through suckling we recreate this rhythm. My lips latch onto the breast and proceed to pull and release in that same tempo, that same rhythm echoed throughout nature, literally milking pleasure and love. Through that rhythm and that act you create this deep sense of relaxation, this space of healing.

The breasts sit right above the heart, and right above the thalamus considered the seat of the soul by ancient Egyptians, Aryas, Greeks, Gnostics, and more.

From an artistic sense, you're literally connecting to someone on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Drawing their innermost essence into yourself. Sharing this all within each other's arms.

Me:

I'm attractive and fit, have piercing green eyes, hair reminiscent of a lion's mane, and the voice of an ancient storyteller.

I like evocative things, things that are so embodied that they are uniquely part of the human experience.

The sound of rain beginning to fall while hiking in the mountains, the feel of soft dirt beneath your feet, and the faint hint of ozone in the air.

Being held close by someone in the dark, in the night, reaching out to experience them with your other 4 senses because you can't see

The sound of a piano in an empty cathedral.

The taste of an ice-cold drink after labouring in the sun, notes of lime and mint hitting your nose.

The way it feels to pet a cat and feel it purr.

I like music, I like to learn new things, comedy, laughter, reading, cooking, traveling, creating, and to share these experiences.

My 3 most recent interests - old and new are Muay Thai, Astrology (Western), and Dave Elman though I have quite a few.

I'm very much looking forward to being able to forage again this month.

You:

This entire post is a resonance. It's a way of looking at the world, of feeling. Whoever sees this post and clicks on it, whomever feels intuitively drawn and connected to my words is who I am looking for.

I value intelligence, authenticity, honesty, vulnerability, a big heart, an open mind, and childlike wonder.

Tell me where you're from, who you are, what your story holds, and what you desire.
