7 Things Every Fulfilling Relationship Needs To Have

1. Trust - a solid foundation. Without trust we cannot hope to have fulfilling relationships because the absence of trust invites scarcity in all other areas of our lives.

2. Loyalty - working together. All relationships endure tough times, the difference between dysfunctional & fulfilling relationships is dysfunction is created when we stop working on the relationship together.

3. Honesty - being open with each other. The telling of lies indicates the presence of fear and fear is just false evidence appearing real. We must be open with one another if we are to create relationships we enjoy being part of.

4. Respect - treating each other as equals. When we treat others how we want to be treated we create reciprocal relationships - instead of ones based on gain & loss. 

5. Authenticity - living our truth. Lying to ourselves for the comfort of others results in us harbouring resentment toward others & ourselves. We can transcend this fear-based mindset by expressing how we truly feel.

6. Space - spending time with ourselves. Absence makes the heart grow fonder and it allows us time to reconnect with ourselves which is necessary for maintaining our emotional wellbeing.

7. Communication - being heard. Talking about how we feel is absolutely essential in creating fulfilling relationships that last because communication dissolves unnecessary conflict that can be easily avoided.

Trust is the foundation of all fulfilling relationships.

Peace & positive vibes.

“The great thing about poetry is that it is simply not ‘commodifiable.’ Materially speaking, it’s worthless in this culture. There’s very, very little money to be made from writing poetry. In that way, it’s subversive since anyone can steal it. Anyone can take it. Anyone can learn it by heart. Anyone can whisper it, can carry it into a jail, through borders, across all sorts of state lines. Poetry is that which can be carried anywhere. It’s invisible. And that makes it very, very precious in a culture where everything has a price. It still has a purity.”

— Marie Howe

“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”

Physics of Sailing

PHYSICS – In this video adapted from QUEST, take a sailing lesson from a San Francisco-based sailing club and learn what it takes to get a sailboat moving in the water. With the help of some of the Bay Area’s top aerospace engineers, the QUEST team learns that sailboats don’t simply rely on wind to push them forward but that there are other invisible forces that are fundamental to the process.

“Many of us who are older inherit teachings of discipline which were all forced on us, and we’ve learned to grow up dull and rigid. And so I could say things to this audience that I would not possibly say in an audience of students. 

‘It’s up to you to loosen up and to become a little mad.’ 

There’s no point saying that to a younger audience because they’re going to do that anyway.

A great problem for the generation of parents and grandparents is psychic rigidity because we have been indoctrinated for a long time in not being able to trust ourselves.”

MAY 23

learn it. correct it. unbottle it.

whatever it takes // whatever it takes from you // take the day’s rage or the day’s disappointments and let it fill a page, a canvas’s face, a stage, a path or sacred place // keep going, outgoing and out-pouring // protect what it permanent about you and be prepared to lose what changes // take the day’s rejection and arm yourself with kind words instead // in this life of endless synonyms, meaning is never far away 

meaning is found and nurtured, bought and sold wholesale, made into marketing campaigns, copied, re-sold and draw into cappuccino foam // meaning is led around the back and given a quick leg-trembler // meaning is gagged and bound and forced to read a prepared statement // meaning is hiding in the smallest flower, or else fallen down the back of the sticky seat // meaning won’t look you in the eye // meaning comes too soon and apologises

keep at it. keep at it. keep at it. 

(twenty-third of may twenty eighteen: I dreamed of XXXXXX again last night, sitting looking out over the jagged jawline of the city beneath a curdled egg-yolk moon, watching and waiting for something that felt like the end of the world. we could have kissed, we could have sworn to run away together. we could have escaped all this, but instead we sat and said things like “I don’t know what to say” when we knew exactly the words we needed to hear)

and it all keeps going, perma-take // day by humiliating day // no outlet or reissue, just waking up with a little less every time // a finite resource, this ability to carry on // screaming into the void, watching the cameras watch us // listen, I know it’s your day off but… // day by misery-making day // this everboring, this polismiling, this misogyagreeing // I’ve made mistakes and I wrap them up at night, kiss their crooked smile and say things like you’re all right now
