The importance of sex

Earlier today I wrote about Relationship.  Now it’s the turn of Sex and later in the day I will cover Love.

I have heard it said that sex is very over-rated.  It seems to me that whoever said that is missing the point.  In my life sex has been the most confusing and the most exhilarating of all experiences.  You know when you’re going there with someone new all of the embarrassment and uncertainty and fear, and yet when you have the courage to keep going it is possible to arrive at an amazing place.

Something that always amazes me is how many delicious and beautiful women think that they are overweight.  You don’t take into account those exotic love handles that so excite us men!  In French they are called ‘Poignets d’amour‘, ‘Chichitos‘ in Spanish, and my favourite is the Italian… ‘Maniglie dell’amore‘!

If you simply want to kiss it is ‘Bisou‘ in French, ‘Beso‘ in Spanish and ‘Bacci‘ in Italian.

Now that we are fully blown Europeans it is important that we should be acquainted with these important words.  There are many other exciting possibilities which I will leave til next year.

If life has been kind enough to lead you to other doors that you feel the need to add to this list, please feel free – I’m a great learner.  I look forward to covering Love this afternoon – it should be easier and less embarrassing.

Why do I write such things?  Well I suppose it’s the thrill of going very close to the line.  What line?!  An unspoken line that make a lot of conversation and society really boring.

Talking to my arm…

I was in the shower this morning and I found myself talking to my arm. For the last 6 months I have had a frozen right arm which has been quite painful and impossible to use for making pottery. Slowly, with continual exercise it is getting better. This morning in the shower I noticed that it was even better so I said “Thank you dear arm for being more use to me today” and I felt a deep sense of appreciation.

Then I thought of the integrated processes that our bodies are and I realised that my arm is not separate from my body but one and the same thing, even though the pain appears in a particular place.

Then I thought that I am part of the universe… and the game goes on and on.

I find gratitude to be a very powerful mantra.
