Journey begins

 

 

To be her first.

To be regarded enough for her to bend.  To be respected enough for her to yield. To be admired enough for her to kneel.

To be the one made holy by her gift, never before given.

It is an honour for him.

It is a wild, heady, nervous, exciting and achingly erotic moment for her.

Their journey begins.

A definition of infatuation

 

For reasons fully known only to myself, some five or six years ago I was looking for a serious definition of infatuation.

But I found this in the Urban Dictionary. The truth of it made me laugh so much that I posted it on my blog at the time. I thought some of you who might not have seen it might also find it amusing.

Some of us may have been the ‘object’ but who of us cannot admit to having been the ‘obsessor’ at least once.

infatuation

All-encompassing, gut-wrenching, soul-draining activity that only requires the active involvement of one individual: the obsessor. A second individual is required for the peripheral need of providing the obsessor with an object of needless, unappreciated, possibly unwanted, often unwarranted affection. The second individual may or may not be aware of his/her peripheral involvement, and may or may not be willing to be peripherally involved: the object’s awareness and/or willingness of being an object of desire is of no consequence to the obsessor.

Photograph : The lovely actress Felicity Jones for whom I have had a mild infatuation (of which she is obviously unaware) for the last ten years or so. I was delighted to see her gain mainstream success in The Theory of Everything and Rogue One. This photo was taken by Mark Abrahams for GQ magazine in 2014 

 

Temptation

 

I think this one of my favourite quotations.

It is well known, but if by chance you don’t know it, or where it comes from, it is by Oscar Wilde. It comes from Act One his 1892 play Lady Windermere’s Fan, and is spoken by the character Lord Darlington.

 

“I can resist everything except temptation.”

 

So true.

You know who you are

There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft… When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.

Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner)

These words by the incredibly talented Afghan-born writer Khaled Hosseini capture the ugliness and cruelty of theft. If you believe in a god – any god – then truly all sin is rooted in theft. If you are an atheist (as I am) it surely should be core to your personal values that you do not steal.

The stealing of words is no less dirty (though perhaps not as brutal) than any other form of theft. It shows a weakness of character and an absence of morality. It defines the perpetrator as being without ethics, without honesty and without pride. It reveals them as a person who cannot be trusted, cannot be liked, cannot be admired.

It lowers their worth and standing as a human being.

To the person who is stealing from me – I know who you are.

I can, and I will, l expose you at any time. I enjoy that power I have over you.

But more important. You know who you are. You know you are nothing more than a common thief.

And you know that I pity you and I despise you.

Without my words you are a pathetic, empty, talentless nobody.

Missing Someone

‘Missing someone isn’t about how long it has been since you’ve seen them or the amount of time since you’ve talked. It’s about that very moment when you’re doing something and wishing they were right there with you’

(Unknown)

 

Taste you on my breath

There’s a line that goes :

And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath.

It is by the rather excellent Beth Orton from the song Central Reservation

It is playing in my head today. It resonates.

Because I can too.

 

The sea will free me

“You have now reached infatuation’s final destination—the complete and merciless
devaluation of self.”

Elizabeth Gilbert – ‘Eat, Pray, Love

I am at this point, but this is not me.
This is not who I am
I am better than this.

The sea will free me
