Look back to see forward

Go out Wildly and Alone.

Eat figs slowly because each bite is more like Sex.

Getting older is a trick of fate, but being succulent is dancing in the face of danger; savoring the rain (sans clothing); do not fear throwing your head back and sending your voice through the wind. Tonight I walked through the trees and watched the crickets grow. Hold your own hand and remain bold despite the growing emptiness of the corners.

Faces of Intimacy.

Nobody tells us as little girls that we may fall in love and have moments of hating our beloved.

We build many walls in our goals of self-protection, but ultimately the walls create isolation. Break the walls down. Start simple --hug people more. Reach out when you need support -- don't be afraid to ask for more, or to appreciate what you have. Stop looking in the wrong places for fullness. Let people teach you about yourself; live the questions instead of screaming for answers.


Erotic Robot.

This is a woman unconsciously in search of herself.
This woman has sexual encounters because
(1) it is easier than saying no
(2) she is fulfilling someone's fantasies at the expense of her own
(3) to be polite
(4) get it over with so the man will just leave
(5) it gives her a false sense of satisfaction, of power - being desired is desirable

True succulence comes when the sensuous woman replaces the erotic robot.

 Succulence comes amongst spring rains and tree branches weighed heavily by wild pears, these plane rides and wedding kisses and fear shedding and un-brushed hair and sincere plunges in the river after shared fruit and joined laughter, barefoot exploration. In the early creep of sexy summer, there is succulence like charged violet skies electric with heat, with newness and necessity.

Marcello: Live positive vibrations, always.
Start with a cup of tea and end with remembering --
remembering a loved one now passed, a favorite primal smell, a holiday well-spent, an art brought to life, the odd power of a storm, what it's like to be most comfortable naked.
