I really am liking thinking about the idea of seeing oneself as a verb instead of a noun!<br /><br />And thanks for sharing your idea of community through Yarp?!Sherri - PDX Yoginihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07325318512927663818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8126738433064617622.post-14731442317102027512009-07-01T16:04:25.840-07:002009-07-01T16:04:25.840-07:00Seems to me that part of humanities curse is that ...Seems to me that part of humanities curse is that we tend to see ourselves as nouns; implying something fixed and static, rather than what we truly are: verbs. <br />I think folks would be a lot more happy and comfortable with themselves if they'd remember that we are constantly in a state of movement and change. That may calm our inconsistent and contradictory natures.<br />Regardless, thanks for sharing such deeply personal stuff. I was the bell it resounded through. When I was in my twenties and early thirties I was a very attractive man (according to the "standards"). The problem is that I didn't fully appreciate or understand what it means to be "attractive" in our society; from charisma assisting in getting a "good job" to the benefits to dating that come with good looks. Now that I am old and ugly (well not really, but definitely not a "looker" like I was) I see just how screwed up society is about beauty/attractiveness. I think part of the reason why Yarp?! strives for "ugliness" is as a response to this mechanism in society.<br /><br />Frankly, as I age what I find attractive is less the surface crap and more the inner individual; perhaps it's because with us guys our sex drive lessens as we age (thank goodness). <br /><br />Anyhow, thanks again for sharing. I really appreciate it.Jeremy Frazeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531736111673790980noreply@blogger.com
