Awaken the Senses ~ Desire

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 […]

Desire – On Beauty and Turbulence

Desire – On Beauty and Turbulence

The most beautiful sky I’ve ever seen was my own city, at night, from a turbulence-tossed plane. As the tiny aircraft flew in from the north the river slowly appeared, molten pewter, reflecting the lights and early summer stars. Along the circular horizon the sun was setting in a smoldering persimmon glow. I held my […]

Life is short and here […]

Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost. ~Pina Bausch Change is a terrifying word. Especially arbitrary change—change we feel we have no control over. It’s no wonder that the word menopause is not nearly as scary for most of us as the term The Change. “You’re going through The Change.” “She’s experiencing The Change.” It positively […]

Ordinary Celebrations and Tiny Revolutions

Ordinary Celebrations and Tiny Revolutions

In my mailbox this week was a beautiful note. Handmade, with watercolors on simple paper, the cursive words were an invitation to come and celebrate the full moon with dinner. “We have realized,” it read, “that our life needs more celebrations.” It went on to say that their plans were simple, that children were welcome.

At midlife we often find ourselves fighting the inclination to become dull and stiff. We may go through a phase during which we feel our senses are not as acute, our pleasures less intense, our mind and body less flexible than they were in younger years.
