...in which I make love to the Men in these images/videos.

Mandala is the Sanskrit word for circle. That's all. Of course, there are iconic mandalas that do have some design rules. The first being that the circle is protected by flames and 4 structures called domes, and the domes can be made from flames - sometimes. I've even used cigars or chrome-spiked leather wrist cuffs.

The purpose of a mandala's design is to draw you slowly to the center. And it's a good long trippy trip. Anyone out there remember those? Only one of the things revealed about such a trip is that stuff in mandalas have no connection to this Earth or heaven. They are, you know, cosmically held apart. To me, it seems like a great place to put my Full Moon Men, the men I love in many different ways.

But I don't make mandalas. I make MENdalas - chunks of my Full Moon Men arranged in circular patterns; ones that can quickly show off a major bigDeal in math-magic. Here it is: Circles and squares are different. Counting and measuring are about straightness, squarness. Rational numbers.

But we can't measure circles using straightness, using rational numbers. For instance, one cannot create a circle containing precisely 100-square meters. Why? Read on.

Stuff inside circles cannot be fully known because the value of pi is not knowable and without pi you cannot convert curved lines into straight ones. No counting. No measuring. One cannot be sure, one cannot know fully, not exactly.

And we don't need to. I think it's rather cool that we live in a place large enough for this huge UNknown right in our face every day. We are capable of embracing unknowable things. They can be what they already are: magic. (It might be good to re-read the previous sentence.) One merely needs to be aware.

Such magic is a large part of essential erotic forces. And you can be nourished by those forces. Magic you can live on. Magic you can share.

Oh, and metaphors be with you.

Some of my MENdalas are also meditative animations - erotic photo-cartoons of a sort - with complex sound tracks. And alright, perhaps meditative is a poor choice of words. Click these icons to enlarge the MENdalas. Three of them will not enlarge, they'll take you, instead, to 3 pages of video animations.

I've begun calling the videos shared hallucinations. But that is not a bad thing. See, I'm a man of an age sufficient to recall some halluncinations as being pretty damned good things.

Keep making love, and soon there'll be enough.
