This is an excerpt from the notes I am using to help my student understand her reading homework:
"Sexual intercourse is the richest encounter possible, and out of this encounter a new being is created. The creative encounter is similar to sexual intercourse in its encounter, partial withdrawal pattern. The two opposites become united as in the creative encounter. It is this continuous experience of encounter and re-encounter that is significant in terms of creativity. The process is what is important. It brings change to both the subjective and the objective poles. The particular forms resulting from the creative process are symbol and myth, which reveal the relationship between conscious and unconscious experience."
Yeowsa...lol.
"Slowly, So Slowly, Slowly"
Trident
Don’t call me woman
Unless you say I am
Your woman
In only the best way possible
That I am yours
Because you
Understand and
Respect me.
Don’t wait for me to make up my mind
When I have asked you three times
For your opinion
I wouldn’t ask if I didn’t
Want it.
Is it a contradiction
To want a man
Who is a man?
Who knows how to take care
And let me take the lead
As well?
Passing back and forth
Awaiting the other’s response
In a timely manner
Passing back and forth
Finding the clench in the eyes.
I don’t want to go forth
When the past is so close
Sitting in the dents of my shoes
Like the deterring bubble gum that it is.
Don’t call me woman
Unless you want me to be
Your woman
And you mean it
In the best way
You can.
