Two Hearts Dancing

Two Hearts Dancing: A Spiritual Journeybook for Gay Men isn't a guidebook on ""coming out"" but a guidebook on coming in--coming in to who we are as mystics, lovers, and healers. Nor is it a sequel to the gay underground classic Two Flutes Playing but a companion volume to it. The first section of this book, ""Stories of our People,"" contains fourteen tales that are grounded in gay archetypes and ends with a responsive reading to be used in gay men's rituals. The second part, ""Poems for Our Tribe,"" contains twenty-four poems that are mythic, mystical explorations of embodied spirituality, sexuality, and love. These poems are followed by another ritual, which has been used in gay men's gatherings around the world, and the book ends with a story about dying that bookends the opening story in the book, on being born.
