What if

Deep, thick, intentional and ongoing.

A call and response that creates the conditions for things to transform.

An act of will is both an intention and an action.
Also, choice.*
Because you do not have to.
You choose to.
Because you want to.

A metamorfose dos passaros 2020 Catarina Vasconcelos

An ongoing exchange where our yearnings, intentions and actions can be expressed. Freely. No shame. I feel like you want to. But you don't. I do. I have been wanting. I still do. But I don't want to want to anymore. I don't want these yearnings anymore. Yearnings. Yearning. Yearn. I yeeeeeeeeeeeeearn. I loooooooooooooong. long long long. Today, all day long. Fica o querer e a ausência.A ausência e o querer. O querer e a ausência. O querer ausência. O querer. Querer. Rerrrrrrrrrrrr. Intentions. Good ones. Hopeful ones. Healthy ones. Respectful ones. Degeneram rápidamente. Frustração. Actions. 0. É a única explicaçao possível. E recomeça tudo outra vez ...

A space where all our needs are being met.
Hand holding.
Dancing. Laughing.
Eating.
Doing.
Together.
Together.
Again.
And again.
And again.

* "I spent years searching for a meaningful definition of the word "love," and was deeply relieved when I found one in psychiatrist M. Scott Peck's classic self-help book The Road Less Traveled, first published in 1978. Echoing the work of Erich Fromm, he defines love as "the will to extend one's self for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth." Explaining further, he continues: "Love is as love does. Love is an act of will namely, both an intention and an action. Will also implies choice. We do not have to love. We choose to love." Since the choice must be made to nurture growth, this definition counters the more widely accepted assumption that we love instinctually." All About Love, bell hooks
