I am
looking for someone to collude with. And knowing my ferocious appetites, this is most likely to be an entire army, rather than one poor sod. Also, we’re talking colluding, in the sense of its purer, Latin root: to play together. Now that’s what I’m after. And yes, I know that the English had a go…

Sometimes
just looking at you is hard. You catch my gaze and my breath. You’re ordinary to the naked eye, to the uninitiated and the uninformed. For your special brand of black magic runs deep, and lethal. There is no cure, ask me, I’ve looked. I have tried to get away, and faltered, tried to move…

A mother’s love and other dangerous situations
She flashes a determined gaze and I realise way too late, that I am very much on the wrong side of the law. This strong, capable and collected woman will not bat en eye while a certain bad boy bleeds to death at the feet of her precious daughter. And while many daughters are, in…

There’s a gentleness
when you hold me. A soft, almost anticipation in your eyes. Our breath syncs, and I cannot distinguish my heartbeat from yours. My cheeks are wet, as strong emotion escapes my body. So this is what it feels like to truly live. This simple magnificent pleasure, of being fully seen, and wanted. ~Lu

Opening up
windows, doors, to let in the early morning air, thick with promise, abundance. Gently ushering out the staleness of last night’s breath. Of fear and doubt, those pre-dawn Death Eaters. Opening up, to a new day, Endless possibilities. New friends. New beginnings. A change of pace. A softer life with folds to luxuriate in. Opening…

Yes, yes, I see you there, hiding in your ever so sensible shoes, and corporate blouse. You can’t fool me. I’m with you on…

And then
you do it all again. You come on over and flick the switch into overdrive and that good ol’ black magic comes flooding back in. You are magical in your everydaynes like the perfect double espresso, and conversely also in your wildness, your crazy freeness and your amazing playful spirit. A considerate hedonist, perhaps 😉…

Post 100
Dear Reader, thank you for dipping in here with me. This water has helped quench my soul. Sometimes tiny droplets, often raging oceans, and everything in between. Thank you, for participating here, ingesting delicate sips or guzzling gigantic bucketfuls, despite the consequences. So jump aboard, and let’s continue paddling through the next 100 pauses on…

The proof
Dear One, is in the doing. There’s lots to be said for research, and reading what others have done. There’s also being strategic, and plotting and defining large structures and entire campaigns before doing any of the well, actual doing. Remember: experiments work. As does changing course mid-stream based on data, experience and feedback, once…

Secretly
I love it when you tell me what to do. Me, a grown woman with a house, and a bond, and a dog, and a serious job. Why is this? And how can it be so? It’s all in the telling, or rather, the place that the telling is from. It’s a place of deep…
