I feel I must take part in this discussion....
I am a woman of nearly 57 years of age. I have been married twice and in one marriage I was a battered wife. The second marriage was beautiful...to a kind and gentle soul; we had 4 children together and shared many tender moments in our love. But I am a woman who loves women and when I was growing into my womanhood, those times were not so accepting. I walked paths that were confusing and went in many different directions floundering around in my strangeness.
Then in my middle years a woman came into my life and all of a sudden I came alive again...I lit up ....I had been a beacon that had forgotten how to shine. I could not deny myself any longer...I would not deny myself any longer. One of my daughters who was then 15 began to come out of herself at the same time and much to my delight and total amazement was like myself. She was freely bringing her girlfriend home and I found myself living in the amazement of it all. The wings that once were so clipped now were beginning to open and getting ready for flight.
From then on I could not go back into my cage...a guilded cage is still a cage and there is not room for flight. My hubby was as tender as always and when I cried before him and told him of my delema...he cried with me and we once again bonded in our special kind of love.
This day...the present time....I have just come out of a long term relationship with a woman who was not compatable with myself. She, infact has her own inward struggles. She is a Christian and gay...this for her is a terrible circumstance and she cannot quite connect the two. So in her pain and fear she strikes out in anger and with abuse.
But all of this is leading up to the subject of whether I think same sex marriage is ok and should be acceptable. Of course I do....why should love be denied in it's purest form. We are simply physichal beings dwelling on the earth plane. The bigger picture is that we are souls on a journey of love and learning and love knows absolutely no boundaries. The borders that are there are often erected by ourselves and I baffle at how easily we erect them because in the long run they are so hard to tear down.
We, as spiritual loving ones connected to the greatest of Loving Souls should, in my thoughts, remember who we are and where we have come from. Sex is not the main issue for the one conscious of their spirituality..it is an enhancement to that walk. What counts is the walk itself and who accompanies us. We are indeed, each of us on a mystical journey of connection and if a human soul brings love into our lives, no matter what skin they are wearing then acceptance of that gift will bring a beautiful reward.
I hope that I have not gone on too long but I just felt that I wanted to share with you how I feel as a member of this group and now I have totally come out to you...I feel the freedom of showing you my soul self and ....I thank-you for hearing me.
In love and light may your journey be peaceful....fern
