Foliage of Love

About the Book

Oh the beauty and splendor, the earthy wisdom of not opposing spirit and flesh but letting them be and do as one. For many of us there is too much in between. We are victim to that which was meant to protect. Perhaps that is just what I am: A union that at any cost wants to know itself after being too long apart.

Seduce me life. I bow before your brilliance. Torn between two warring missions-tradition and a new tomorrow-I will not dishonor or betray either. These two conflicted ideals join and rejoice as the sacred hope of my heart. Sexuality and romantic orientation are too wholesome, precious, and innate to sacrifice to ideology.
