August 16, 2007 - 5:00 PM
"Love is an integral part of our being, it is not something that we need to search for, and on the contrary, it is actually something that we have learned to hide from. Love is a natural part of our being , but also such a powerful force in our existence, that we have taught ourselves how to block those feelings, how to hide love and from love." This is, in part, what TrueTalk shares with us this month in the latest edition of Explorations in love. Let love be love is not only some great words of advice, but a very good column as well.

This insightful statement is just a small part of For Lovers and Fighters, which is live under the Feature Articles section right now.

The April 23rd edition of the National Review Online featured an article that takes a different approach to the same-sex marriage issue, but with apparently the same thought process in mind.

While browsing the blogosphere I came across another interesting polyamory related blog. The author describes A Poly Page for Secondaries as being "for the non-primary, the secondary, the one who got there after. Regardless of your self-identifier, this page will address the issues that one may face when entering a pre-existing relationship..." One post in particular caught my eye, in which she talks about Patterned Chaos as it relates to her poly relationships. I enjoyed browsing through her blog and thought you might too, which is why I've added it to the External Links section this morning.

I've been doing a little reorganizing. As a result of this, any column that has not been updated in 2007 has been removed from the main page of this community. All of these columns still exist in the Monthly Columns Archive, but for the sake of providing fresh, updated content I felt it best to relegate these columns to the archives.
