This principle applies to sexual healing practice. Most of it must be done alone. The essence of sexuality is your relationship to yourself. The essence of trust is about you trusting yourself; the essence of respect is respecting yourself. The capability to love is based on loving yourself, which implies gentleness and not bravado.
So true and with much reflection to use this as grounding. Powerful so appreciate this writing and your sharing.
Bar owners insisted on this bizarre charade to avoiding breaking the law—specifically, the excise law of 1896, which restricted how and when drinks could be served in New York State. The so-called Raines Law was a combination of good intentions, unstated prejudices, and unforeseen consequences, among them the comically unsavory Raines sandwich.
The new law did not come out of nowhere. Republican reformers, many of them based far upstate in Albany, had been trying for years to curb public drunkenness. They were also frustrated about New York City’s lax enforcement of so-called Sabbath laws, which included a ban on Sunday boozing. New York Republicans spoke for a constituency largely comprised of rural and small-town churchgoers.
But the party had also gained a foothold in Democratic New York City, where a 37-year-old firebrand named Theodore Roosevelt had been pushing a law-and-order agenda as president of the city’s newly organized police commission. Roosevelt, a supporter of the Raines Law, predicted that it would “solve whatever remained of the problem of Sunday closing.”
Eric, this is timeless thanks for including it in the hunger games retinue. This brings so much clarity to the book of blue project. Bravo!

The essence of trust and respect is at the very core of our existence.
Thank you for bringing it out into the open!
"......being honest with yourself." Is that even possible?
I think so, though it's a process...
