I think kissing is the most pure and raw form of physical contact there could ever be. Sex is intimate, sure, but you can have sex with anyone. A kiss though, my god. A kiss can change your world. A small touch between two pairs of lips can blow your mind. Whether it be short and sweet, or long and intense. And when you find someone that looks at you like you’re more beautiful than a blossoming rose; you never want to feel another’s lips against yours ever again.
— The Purity of a Kiss - (jpzg)
Kissing. The thing that I love. The thing that I miss. My "thing".
A mouth that craves the taste of skin, a tongue that desires to trail its wetness over the plains of a body. Lips that ache to kiss, stealing breath, taking you within an inch of your life. A clash of lips, meeting with a craving and a longing so deep it leaves them breathless. Lips moving with slow and gentle precision, each kiss telling a momentum of passion, of depth, of love.

You write your first draft with your heart and you rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is to write, not to think.
Sean Connery, Finding Forrester.
For me, the key is having the time. The motivation. The inspiration. And I haven't had any of those for so long. It's been so long since I've written. So long since I've had the time to write. Life is busy. Life is manically busy and there's no time to write let alone think!
On Wednesday, I stood in the Abbey at the funeral of a friend who was just 49. A battle lost against bowel cancer. And standing there as I watched her two teenage daughters talk of their Mum, it hits home just how precious life is. How so easily life can be taken away, that it is so short. She was making the most of her life, doing the things that she loved to do, right up to the end, right to the moment that the damn awful disease that cancer is stripped her body of life.
It makes you realise that sometimes, just sometimes, things have to take a back seat, that there are things that must come first. Whether things are from the head or the heart, the first key is to take the moments that we have, to take the opportunities, the chances, the risks. Because it can be over all too quickly.
There can be times, there can be moments when something so beautiful comes into our lives, completely out of nowhere. We may not understand it, we may want to question it, but sometimes we have to trust in it. Trust in ourselves, trust in the ability to make and take the right decision, the right path for ourselves. It may not work. But sometimes, perhaps we just need to have a little faith. Perhaps we just need to take a step into the unknown, for as I've been reminded this week, we never know if that step may be our last.
Sian. Rest in peace and free from pain.
