I long for your touch like I’m the leaf
awaiting the soft morning dew or the sand
for the ocean waves.
When you touch my body
my heart is rewritten

(excerpt from a poem by averylia)

From a distance, it is just one of many vetch flowers. Seen from afar, it is only one of many needs.

If I dare to get close to it, if I take the time, the meaning and the multi-dimensional intensity of “Desire” reveals itself to me… Desire, craving, appetite, yearning, thirst…. “I long to be touched, as if I were a leaf waiting for the gentle morning dew…” describes that very basic human need of being touched so eloquently. Being touched is not only a superficial signal in mechano receptors, it makes it possible to feel the world around us, to help us be connected. May we all be touched and connected… for a better world would be possible.

I’m striving to provide you a reason to slow down, breathe and enjoy the moment. Right here. I’ve done many things, from falling in love to burying a son.
