What little things make you happy?

Posted on Jan 5th, 2008 by Jon : Jon Jon
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for January 05, 2008:

Nov074_001
Well I was going to stop talking about penises for 2008 but you did ask.

Additionally; all the little things...the warmth in Jane's eyes when she Skypes me, my son spontaneously hugging me, the first sip of a really nice cappucino (and I have found a new cafe with drinks to die for...Squeeze in Hebden!!!)...and the joy of opening this weeks Amazon package...and the taste of fresh mango...and the place in my back that opens out in  paschimottanasana...and the feeling of energylight pouring into my skull after bhastrika...well these are all big things...

When Jean Cocteau made a film, he paid close attention to "small details" because he knew how such an accrual of these made such a major impact on us moviewatchers without our consciously registering them...

Metanoia....the word means: to see the small details in life afresh and be astonished....

Most of life makes me happy after meditation sharpens my experience of metanoia.

I agree with the experience of Metanoia and the meditation practise.
I remember the feeling looking at a telephone cabin like an amazing thing after my first course, and eating a little piece af bread like it was the more exquisite food on earth (we have not had diet, I was not hungry I mean).If you thought meditators are kinda masoquist because the technique has its difficulties,like sitting for a long time……..well, forget the idea, we are looking for something good like you, but realized some time ago, after trying it, that the usual ways just don't work.

I have just heard for first the word penisses, it's funny because in catalan we call it penis……………so, your is longer……………congratulations brits………………..ROFLMAO!

Are you sure Shauna? 
I agree pennis help, but what makes you happy is your thing……(what is the name, twad?), is the only must for your pleasure, the rest are all complements.

Please do not ever stop talking about penises!  Or vaginas, for that matter.  Especially G-spots.  More openness around sexuallity and intimacy would change the world!  Consider a world with no sexual exploitation and fewer neuroses because we move sexuality out of the dark corners of the psyche and into the light. 

I thoroughly enjoy a good and loving romp with my sweet lover's penis.  I can't say that it makes me happy – I am generally happy when I'm in the presence of him, and hs penis is an added bonus.  Still, the endorphins afterward certainly enhance my mood.  I would love to learn tantra to move the experience to a different level, but he's not quite on the same page on that one.  All in good time, I'm sure.

Other things bring happiness to the fore, of course.  Spontaneous metanoia is one of my favorites.  I just love that place wherein the world just seems to shift in front of my eyes, and I have the sense of absolute astonishment at the beauty and the feeling of well-being that washes over me – without penis intervention. 

Thanks so much for your post – what fun!  And I learned a new word for that unique experience (the metanoia, not the penis pleasure).

Well you're my kind of person Karen…love yr blog…

Funny innit…I mention Cocteau and yoga stuff but…mention the old genitilia and…moths around a flame!!!…I can understand this….this widespread myth which still prevails despite some small lip service to the contrary..that sex and genitilia cannot be spoken of in a jocular manner and still carry some authentic significance even if we are not talking yonis and lingams and the shiva/shakti kosmic coupling….

Have you coined a new phrase?  Penis Metanoia?  ;-)

Well – I have more experience with penises than I do with yoga.  I find it's best to offer commentary on areas with which one is familiar.  Lest I look like a fool.  A sexually satisfied but yoga deficient fool, at that!

Penis Metanoia – would that beverage include chocolate, cinnamon and honey?

OMG Karen!…….who do you wanna to make nervous with all these details ? It seems a Corine Tellado novel…..Poor men…LOL

My rule is SEX IS TO PRACTICISE, NOT TO TALK ABOUT IT, but……t….if you need to know something I could do an effort to teach you………ROLFMAO!
Do you know the french word for orgasmus?   Le petite mort (the little death) isn't it lovely?

LOL!  Julia – I'm not sure about whether it depends on the penis or whether it depends on the guy it's attached to.  Motion of the ocean and all that.  I've been favored by all sizes, and I'm not sure size really matters all that much.  I've been in close connection with some fairly impressive penises that left me wondering what the fuss was all about.  While a dear friend who is significantly smaller in stature made up for it in various other ways.  ;-) It's really about the heart-soul connection more than anything.  For me, without that, there's not a chance that I will grace the penis, no matter what it's size.  But a good, fun romp is not to be sneezed at.

That said, the penis isn't worth much without a great vagina as a companion (speaking as a straight person – I recognize that others have different proclivities, but I lack experience in those realms).  We make our own experiences, and we generally get as good as we give!

Vi –  Not trying to make anyone nervous.  Just having good, clean fun.  My apologies for any offense.  None is intended.  Besides, how do you know whether what you're practicing is worthwhile unless you talk about it? 

Check out the Human Awareness Institute at http://www.hai.org/.  I've been to several workshops.   Changed my life.  I was nearly 50 years old before I could even utter the word penis.  I guess I'm making up for lost time.  David Deida writes that sexual energy is life energy.  If we're locked down sexually, we're locked down in other areas of our lives.  I think if more of us talked about it, there would be far less shame, guilt and voo doo around it. 

There has been research that indicates that the body does go into a sort of deathlike convulsion during orgasm.  The death that creates life!  How appropriate.  My sweetie has been involved in Reichian therapy for over a year now and says the benefits have been amazing. 

BTW – what is ROLFMAO?  I'm kind of geeky with the whole online gabfest thingie.

so this is where everyone's been playing today!  HA!
the penis is a wonderful thing, when attached to the right human, but I'm glad I don't have one of my own.  The poor dears, two, maybe three orgasms per day, max…  tsk tsk

Hi KAREN, I was just jokking dear, no ofense at all, of course, ROFLMAO means lot of laughs.In reference with talking about sex I prefere my rule of only practise or just talking with whom I am having or wanting to have sex. Another thing is joking about it like in here.

STACY. You couldn't wait for me dear? This is all what you have to say? You really prefere war, ok, I will dress as a warrior when we had an appointment, don't worry about the pennis, concentrate in the fucking orgasmus, this is what counts, goofball, the big little death that makes you desire to death for real….wow!
amen.

there are some things beyond words,

Everybody's gotta be good at something…

[translation]
we each do things our own way.  isn't it wonderful?

it just doesn't work so well.  That's not how I really talk.  I get it now, what the problem is.  sometimes I type what I'd say, rather than using proper English, and if you aren't familiar with the local dialect, it doesn't make any sense!  LOL   so sorry, Vicenta, you know I love you.  and tongues, I am most fond of tongues, indeed…

fresh mango… that is a love encoded in me from way back. I spent the first three years of my life in Trinidad, two out of the three living with my granny while my mother started to make a life for us in Canada. I'm told every morning I would toddle out and get someone to pick me a fresh mango, and devour it with glee. maybe sometime i'll be able to find the one picture i still have of me at that time and share it with you…
