AOM Meditations: 111918

Poplars near Nuenen by Vincent van Gogh

Thanks to our Friend, David, for sending us this beautiful art

~*~

A few years ago I responded to an E-mail sent to me from a guy who visits AOM daily. We quickly became Friends and have been chatting ever since. (He's "our Friend" that provides us with much of the art I post) The other day I asked him what he gets from visiting AOM - What is AOM to you? What do you think AOM is all about? What benefits do you receive from what I am doing through AOM? He graciously wrote back telling me what he got from AOM in a rather poetic form. I'm posting his thoughts and hope that all of you receive these gifts through your visits here. 

Peace and Love, 

AOM

AOM IS:

by our Friend, David

"AOM is:

a place for men to gather

a place to refresh 

the male mind, body, heart, and spirit

a place to learn about being male

a place to celebrate 

the male body, spirit, and soul

a place to learn how men love themselves 

and each other in body and spirit

a place to be in harmony with nature

a place to be in solidarity with all men 

expressing masculinity in all its forms

a place to enjoy great art and music

a place to see beautiful male bodies

a place to explore male sexuality 

and eroticism in freedom and peace

a place to simply enjoy being male

a place to keep the spark 

of being male alive, vital, and well 

in harmony with the earth and universe

a unique place, a peaceful place, 

a loving place, an accepting place, 

a safe place, a creative place, a fun place

a place to meditate

a place to enjoy some coffee or tea

a place to learn

a place to be free"
