  Colliding Worlds - How Cosmic...

  Simone Marchi

  Some 4.6 billion years ago, a planetary system was born from a disc of gas and dust surrounding a young star.  
   
  Specks of dust, pushed into dense clumps, collided, stuck together, and grew. While the gas disappeared, the growing bodies clashed in a final violent phase, leaving a series of planets, and much debris. The planets jostled and moved around as they sought a stable  
  arrangement, knocking many small fragments out of the system altogether while others formed a distant icy fringe. The massive violent collisions of this time gouged out vast craters from the newborn planets, and sometimes created moons.  
   
  Such was the birth of our Solar System. Only recently have scientists begun to find subtle clues of these ancient, violent times. Remarkably, they are still there, if we look carefully at the Earth’s oldest rocks, at Mars and the Moon with their ancient surfaces, and at the  
  asteroids, which are themselves startlingly varied small worlds. Clues are also to be found in the meteorites that have landed on Earth. From such splinters, from the precious collection of lunar rocks brought back by the Apollo astronauts, and the information  
  gleaned by spacecraft and the Mars rovers, we are slowly building up a picture of the early days of the planets.  
   
  Simone Marchi, a planetary scientist involved with several space missions including Dawn, captures the excitement of these discoveries. We learn of the evidence for an early dramatic rearrangement of the big planets; for a once warm and wet Mars where life  
  perhaps still lurks today; and for the huge collisions that have shaped our own planet and affected life’s trajectory upon it. For all their destructive power, cosmic collisions have played a critical role in creation.  
   
  Without them, we would not exist.

  Dear Husband has been a bad boy. 
    
  He’s been very demanding of his good little housewife and her body, and now Erica fed up with his calloused attentions. 
    
  Dear Husband feels rather weak at the gym while pumping iron, and there is a little shrinkage going on, but it just must have been a long work week. When Erica is late returning from her book club and there’s no dinner on the table, though, Dear Husband is ready to lay down the law of the household. Until he finds himself unable to subdue good wifey that night. The tables are turned, and he’s the one on his knees giving pleasure. 
    
  Suddenly helpless to deny her, Dear Husband chafes at being expected to where that dress for the dinner party. He wasn’t expecting what walked through the door. The whole posse – or rather – the whole coven. The only books Erica has been reading lately are full of spells and incantations. 
    
  With the help of some serious gender bending spells, Erica is able to her Dear Husband how it feels to be the “weaker” gender. Dear Husband gets a taste of his own forceful medicine as he’s bent to his wife’s will – and bent over in the process. 
    
  PSA: This story contains a young lady expected to please at all times and ready for revenge. There will be gratification and mindless submission to women with complete mastery – in any slot these women wish to be masters of. At least one of those slots is natural for a man to have, and at least one is engineered by sheer witchcraft. Dear Husband will be placed in all sorts of compromising positions.

  Luminous Darkness - An Engaged...

  A resonant call to explore the darkness in life, in nature, and in consciousness through teachings, embodied meditations, and mindful inquiry that provide us with a powerful path to healing. 
   
   
   
  Darkness is deeply misunderstood in today's world; yet it offers powerful medicine, serenity, strength, healing, and regeneration. All insight, vision, creativity, and revelation arise from darkness. It is through learning to stay present and meet the dark with curiosity rather than judgment that we connect to an unwavering light within. Welcoming darkness with curiosity, rather than fear or judgment, enables us to access our innate capacity for compassion and collective healing. 
   
   
    
  Dharma teacher, shamanic practitioner, and deep ecologist Deborah Eden Tull addresses the spiritual, ecological, psychological, and interpersonal ramifications of our bias towards light. 
   
   
    
  Tull shows us how the labeling of darkness as "negative" becomes a collective excuse to justify avoiding everything that makes us uncomfortable: racism, spiritual bypass, environmental destruction. We can only find the radical path to wholeness by learning to embrace the interplay of both darkness and light.
