We want to bring a bit of richness and pleasure to your midweek, every week. Wednesday can be dull. But here, we want Wednesday to be a little dip into sensuality, a little treat for each of your five (make that six) senses.
Desire. Tomorrow we’re going to get serious, and look deeply at desire at midlife, body mind and spirit. But for today, let’s dabble. Let’s indulge in some classic images and ideas of desire. It’s just going on 12 Wednesday night for me, and I think these are all perfect for a little midnight indulgence:
Sight
It’s not just the voluptuous surrender here, its not just that the drape of her body give us all kinds of memories on our skin and deep in our bellies. It’s not just that. It’s the power of great paintings to stir desire that is at once visceral and spiritual. There is nothing like standing in front of one of these IN REAL LIFE and letting your eyes just drink in the deliciousness. Can you take yourself out to a museum or gallery or studio soon?
Sound
Annagrace has done it again with the playlist! Draw yourself a fragrant bath and light some candles and turn this one on.
Scent
Personally, I love a man with strong, sensitive hands. I admit I also love really really good perfume. It doesn’t get any better than the boutique perfumery Le Labo. You can order samples of their amazing handmade fragrances for a song. Honestly its a pleasure simply to read the fragrance descriptions in their online catalog.
Touch
Georgia O’Keefe tells us so much about our vulnerable, gorgeous, sensual hearts, and stirs, at least in me, a longing for touch. We deprive ourselves of the pleasure of touch, for all kinds of crazy reasons. Research is starting to show what we all have known forever ~ female sexuality is all about lots of the right kind of complex nuanced patient intense informed and profoundly sensual touch. If you want to know more, you will find these three books very healing and enlightening: Vagina by Naomi Wolf, Come As You Are by Emily Nagoski, and The Wild Feminine by Tami Lynn Kent.
Taste
Just one of the best dessert blogs around. You are welcome.
Wishing you deep self-acceptance and the sweetest of dreams as you sink into your desires tonight,
