Sensual Longing

There is a longing in me to connect with those I love on a level that I can feel but not always touch. The process of getting there is the most beautiful of all adventures. Both parties must be committed to it, for as indescribably beautiful as the path is, it can be very challenging, stressing the relationship.

If I err on this journey, it is usually from pushing too hard, from wanting it too much, from not allowing others to come with me in their own time and in their own way. Sometimes the passion of my appetite for this connection blinds me to delicacy of our mutual exploration. I will learn patience, temperance, acceptance, and many other lessons, whilst keeping the intense fire, the burning desire, alive. The growth and depth of intimacy between me and a loved one is strongly connected to the expansion of our consciousness. My consciousness. Your consciuosness. And the consciousness of our unique and precious relationship.
