Warmth

If subtlety has as much value as intensity, how do I appreciate it? After a lifetime of enjoying the rush of risk and, to some extent, the uncertainty of excitement, it’s time, really time, to value quieter experiences. How that translates to intimacy is new ground. Conditioned to seek the wow, how do we feel able to enjoy the wisdom of refinement? With aging and absence, there’s a wish for warmth rather than heat. How to be met in that, without apologising for, or excusing is a reinvention of relationship expectations. Believing that, savouring, slowing down, and sensuality become the new anticipation.
