GPO (Gentle Provocative One)


I... taught to fear my body

see the pleasure worker as 
key worker for people's loneliness

Teach pleasure
teach consent 
teach communication

Of humility, the thief empire hasn't yet the knowledge
greed keeps taking - long after the last gift was given

Teach communication
teach consent 
teach pleasure

I am the wind feared by empires

We are the winds feared by empires

About the title, provoking is what I'm used to. Oneness, as in integration and focusing can be challenging because of my insecurities. Gentleness is hard for me. We can be very presentable, but my family are also quite rough and ready – the good side is they could be driven to action etc, but also on the aggressive side. I have noticed that I am not generally characterised as aggressive because it's not stereotypically associated with my ethnicity/ culture – but I want to explore my anger issues for health and also for the pleasure of stories.
