    "it seems like you're undressing yourself piece by piece on your photoblog"
    "perhaps that's exactly what i'm doing"
    "but i don't think it's about your physical body"
    "no it's not"
    "about something deeper, then?"
    "yes, something inside me"
    "why not just take it all off at once?'
    "nice try, hustler, there won't be any boobies on that blog!"
    "but seriously, why not?"
    "that would be hard, scary" "and anyway, i like things slow"
    "you're not comfortable with nakedness?
    "physical nakedness, yes. emotional nakedness is a new journey"
    "so you're taking off your emotional layers?"
    "yes"

    "yes"

    Take your time, girl. ((But, if you find the need to hurry, you know my e mail address!))
    I have wondered about you expressing yourself in this way. I have been captured by the look of light and linen across the attractive line of your body. This is Art. I melt, I smell. I just smile at something so wonderfully made. I feel the emotions of protecting you, worshipping you, of grappling with your body and soul.
    All in a nice way, of course.

    Wow...that sounded a little wierd!
    Did I say that out loud?

    Michelle...a very natural, guy, response...protecting you. At least I think it is so....I find a flower and feel the need to nuture it; tend it. Allow it to express itself in its own way, enabling me to selfishly covet the beauty, the smell, and the touch of this flower. Isn't it natural to want to protect such?

    yeah Tim, for people like you and I, and others who read here - i'm pretty sure that's the case. In my world however, i generally nurture others. I'm pretty much a mother hen type. I'm learning how not to be so much. but i love you for saying what you did!!!!

    on the other side of that coin, a while back a person i care deeply for DID, in fact, try to show genuine caring, nurturing behavior.

    since i had need of it at the time, and was not really used to close confidences i leaned to heavily there and for too long. this was unfair to both of us.

    i became uncomfortable in the face of honest caring and high-tailed it out of there emotionally at precisely the moment they'd begun to feel abused. Poor us!

    This was a good thing. Now I'm learning to nurture myself, so that nobody else has to. and i can perhaps love others better thus :)that experience has been pivotal in my life.

    it's been spring here and now there are many birds teaching their young to fly. i love watching them.

    the male and/or female fly a short distance away and simply sit there, listening to the baby screech and complain and try all kinds of tactics to get them to come back.

    they don't.

    eventually the baby realises that to get closer to them they'll have to flap those itching wings.

    so, a bit like that really. and i'll love him forever for doing that. :)
