The spirit
The last dimension of longing does not begin in the body
and not in the heart. It begins in the in-between space.
There, where thoughts flow, fantasies take shape
and reality becomes a little softer.
The mind is the most beautiful seducer. It paints pictures that no one sees except me. It creates voices, touches, proximity... that can feel so real that one almost forgets that they only live within oneself. Longing in the mind is boundless.
It dances between memory and imagination,
between what was and what could be.
It creates spaces in which one can let oneself fall,
even if no one is there to hold one.
And yet… the mind is also the bravest. For it allows desires to be expressed, for which the body is too hesitant
and the heart is too vulnerable.
Here, the first whisper arises..... "How would it feel…?"
And with every answer, a small, quiet fire grows, waiting only for someone to come and have enough courage to turn fantasy into reality.
Perhaps longing is ultimately exactly that....
the finest connection of body, heart, and mind,
a triad that reminds us how alive we are
and how much we would be willing to open ourselves up,
if the right person finds the way.
