Once again, Sunday is a day when love can flourish. What are Sundays for, but for the enjoyment of sweet love. Love is a strange thing: it can come upon us in the most unexpected situations, and then, when we are the most unprepared, we are overtaken by this strange and mysterious force. What do we do then? There is no simple path for such a journey, and on this journey, no two paths are the same. Love is powerful when it happens, terrifying, yes, but still wondrous.
Sundays are always a beautiful day for love, and there are the different kinds of Sunday love, and yet these kinds of love are all related. There is the love we express for God on Sundays, and then there is the love we can express with each other. The love between a man and women is the most blissful type; it is also the most dangerous. Still, it is a danger we must not flee or be afraid to experience. What is life without such experiences? It is usually a grey and bland and dull journey utterly devoid of true feeling. The spectrum of love, from the love of God to the love of two people is always in the end a kind of spiritual experience, and although the sexual pleasure of physical love is always divine, it is even more divine when we remember the deeper, more mystical nature of such love.
Spiritual and sexual love is a kind of bond that is a true reflection of the greater spiritual bonds that pervade the universe: mysterious, utterly beyond our feeble human comprehension, and yet known to us nevertheless. When our paths cross with someone special and we can share such a bond with them, this is a great gift from God. It is not a common thing, it is rare, so when it does happen, we should seize the moment before the moment is lost, and lost forever.
Such are the mysteries and cruelties and beauties of life and love.

What a beautiful couple you have there in the black and white. The contrast between his tough well muscled exterior and her smaller lighter form. I love that he’s so tall and hunky. His arms are just… well, hot. I like that she’s so lithe and sexy. Two people this beautiful should be doing more than just kisses!

Gael,
Indeed, it is quite a beautiful photo, exactly for the reasons you mentioned. It is a great contrast between the masculine and the feminine. And you right, they should be doing more than just kissing, which I imagine is what is eventually going to happen!

I didn’t see it immediately but she is kneeling. I just thought I should mention it! And yes, I’d love to see what would transpire between them eventually.

Gael,
Yes, that is a good point on the kneeling. When I first posted this photo I did not see just how nice it was until you brought up these points! It is indeed a wonderful expression of the masculine and feminine intertwining in an erotic way. The kneeling you mentioned also reflects the submissiveness of the women in the embrace of a strong masculinity, which is something both men and women instinctively crave. Thanks for your insightful thoughts on this photo!
