Description
I had never thought of her caress. Venus was young a long time ago... ...now she is ...beyond gravity's reach. She cannot touch or be touched. We can only caress her shapely form with our eyes...seeing the sculptor's vision.
I remember how ... in a fraction of a shutter second... she came together... with the hand of a man...stones joined. A new embrace...conjured in a moment of openness....a desire to discover...time now with time before. She was first...calling to be seen from the art museum. The young hand was waiting... to be found...a statue in Grant Park...a moment of serendipity. Rremember the excitement....with sweet sweat and a fast pulse on a hot Chicago day... rewinding the film...discovering the spontaneous...a lucky moment...going-between-together... something new... with proud innocence...pure joy... to be part of the mystery...and the magic....of a new creation. One old stone sculpture from Ancient Greece...another stone from 20th Century Chicago. Old and new...Yin and Yang ....stones joined as one...her body...his hand...a union of
shapes in space and time...there and there - together.

Rosa, wow... I have never thought of her caress. She was young a long time ago... ...now she is ...beyond gravity's reach. She cannot touch or be touched. I can only caress her shapely body with my eyes. I Remember how it happened... in a fraction of a shutter... she became with a man's hand...stones together. A new reality or unreality... conjured in a moment of openness....a desire to see...time back to time...being and searching for serendipity. She was the first...calling to be touched.The hand was waiting in the distance. I can still feel the excitement...the coming together through the glass...hot sparks and sweet sweat... discovering the spontaneous...a moment to imagine...suspended in innocence...pure joy... of seeing...feeling...being part of the mystery...trying to honor the image. Touching with my eye...the possibility....a new creation...one stone from Ancient Greece...another stone from 20th Century Chicago. Old and new...Yin and Yang ....stones together as one...her body...his fingers...an existential caress. Rosa, many thanks for inspiring me to write this reply and to Remember. Thomas

Just think....how would she caress you. More with fire than with tenderness. But is not exciting? Rosa (love it...Thomas, though feels a little...unrestling)
