If you would be so kind. I need your support! Can you go to the following link for my book, The Tao Of Astrology, and paste your lovely comment there as a review? Especially this one...

Thank you for that response, James. I am grateful for men like you, with eyes to see, hearts to feel. Your reaction is understandable. You are a man, not an asshole. I get that reaction. I am still learning how to write my insights without offending. Is that an impossible goal? The non-offense?

How many disclaimers must a writer provide before the reader just reads, without personal affront? You are not those men I talk about. I provided their actual responses, which were not yours. I know that. I used this event to show a common occurrence from my experience, not to hurt your feelings. It was meant to show compassion for our mutual mis-understandings. If that intention was not apparent, then I have failed.

I suppose there were not enough disclaimers about the Vortex where both sexes are made from Yin and Yang. About how Yang has taken over society to our peril. Did I mention that I love dick? That I love your responses to my work? The male swagger? The heart of the a lover? That the hearts of men are harmed as much as wimmin within the modern Yangicide we now endure?

If not, then Mea Culpa. I must get better at writing my Soul. I apologize. I will write better.

NO, I knew that you knew that! No offense taken , or not too much. I just wanted other people to know what you and I know---not all men are narcissistic putzes.

PS--your words were powerful and beautiful. Sometimes I read your stuff, and I go, "What???!!!!"

But this column was spot-on. I bought you a coffee.

My daughter had post-partum depression, and I thought, "Well, how could you not have it, after all that?" I said that once in mixed-company and the females seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. It might depend on personality-type. My daughter is INFP, like me. My other daughter did not have PPD, nor did my wife.

I am not those men that you talk about. I could work any one of them into the ground, even at my age (74). I am artistic, creative and all those "feminine" things but I also work hard on my rental properties, doing masonry, electrical, plumbing, etc. I consider myself a Wyrd Christian (that is another story) but even if I were a pagan (I am, to a certain extent) I think that I would have enough respect for that life-giving process (sex) that we have been entrusted with, that I would not play around with it.
