Desire doesn’t always come as a tidal wave of all consuming mental, physical and psychological sensation. Sometimes desire comes in the form of a tiny spark, a little twinkle inviting you to approach and nurture it into something a bit bigger and bolder.
When we are struggling with desire for our partners, our life or even ourselves it is easier to leave the sparks unacknowledged. When we routinely ignore them we can slide into actively disregarding the sparks as insignificant or insufficient.
I want to invite you to honor your sparks. Get curious about the twinkling or tingling feelings you have in your body or mind. The ones that orient you towards desire and the possibility of pleasure in your life.
What if you allowed yourself to stay in these feelings and you followed them where they are wanting to take you? What if instead of feeling that they aren’t ______ enough you decide to get curious about what your body and mind are telling you about what you want?
What if you allowed yourself to want what you want instead of taking it out on the spark by extinguishing it before it gets started? What might it grow into?
