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.
