Twist

“What do you think of this pic?” I asked.
“I don’t know.” she said.
“Do you like it?” I asked.
“No, I don’t feel much of anything about it.” she said.
“Well, I’m about to post it and I was wondering if you thought it was any good.” said I.
“People will see it and either be discussed, jealous, not give a shit, or think it is everyday life.” she said.
“I can dig that.” I said.

Two, three, four or more in a bed… What is normal to one person is odd to another.
What is acceptable to some is taboo for others.
For many it is a dream or even their wildest fantasy. For others it is daily life.
What we do is what defines us. What we don’t do is what excites us or causes us to experience strange gut reactions.
When I got ready to post this picture I had something completely different written up to go with it.
By asking someone what they thought of it my course was altered.
Instead of my witty jokes and references to song lyrics I give you babble.
For now I ponder what others will see in comparison to how my own minds eye has filed it away.

Love & Lust
I have always separated these in my mind when it comes to relationships and sex.
Yet I have a lust for love, and I love to feel lust.
So intertwined are lust and love that many (if not most) can’t separate them in any way except as concepts. Nothing has caused more heartache in the world than love and lust. Nothing has caused more confusion.

When love and lust intertwine perfectly though… it is heavenly.

Bible Dictionary
Love definition

This word seems to require explanation only in the case of its use by our Lord in his interview with “Simon, the son of Jonas,” after his resurrection (John 21:16, 17). When our Lord says, “Lovest thou me?” he uses the Greek word _agapas_; and when Simon answers, he uses the Greek word _philo_, i.e., “I love.” This is the usage in the first and second questions put by our Lord; but in the third our Lord uses Simon’s word. The distinction between these two Greek words is thus fitly described by Trench:, “_Agapan_ has more of judgment and deliberate choice; _philein_ has more of attachment and peculiar personal affection. Thus the ‘Lovest thou’ (Gr. agapas) on the lips of the Lord seems to Peter at this moment too cold a word, as though his Lord were keeping him at a distance, or at least not inviting him to draw near, as in the passionate yearning of his heart he desired now to do. Therefore he puts by the word and substitutes his own stronger ‘I love’ (Gr. philo) in its room. A second time he does the same. And now he has conquered; for when the Lord demands a third time whether he loves him, he does it in the word which alone will satisfy Peter (‘Lovest thou,’ Gr. phileis), which alone claims from him that personal attachment and affection with which indeed he knows that his heart is full.” In 1 Cor. 13 the apostle sets forth the excellency of love, as the word “charity” there is rendered in the Revised Version.

Bible Dictionary
Lust definition

sinful longing; the inward sin which leads to the falling away from God (Rom. 1:21). “Lust, the origin of sin, has its place in the heart, not of necessity, but because it is the centre of all moral forces and impulses and of spiritual activity.” In Mark 4:19 “lusts” are objects of desire.
