Really Love by D’Angelo and The Vanguard

“The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of Self and the chaos of our strongest feelings.”
How can I live my most erotic life?
Musings that carry her at 2am as she lays on her yoga mat, post Savasana, tears floating down the corners of her eyes. Lorde’s essay, “Uses of the Erotic”, haunts her in these silent moments. Gently coaxing her to examine how discipline, pleasure and fate seductively dance with one another… caressing the shadows of what lies dormantly in the crevices of her soul. Quotes she’s underlined and highlighted and studied and meditated over resurfacing to help dissolve the illusions, distractions, distortions.
And in this stillness, the tender parts of her heart breathe freely, unchained. Activating the chaos of her strongest desires… daring them to be fulfilled. Stimulating them into arousal. Luring them into climax. Stabilizing their pleasure into completion. And with undeniable heat, she rises.
“There are many kinds of power, used and unused, acknowledged or otherwise. The erotic is a resource within each of us that lies in a deeply female and spiritual plane, firmly rooted in the power of our unexpressed or unrecognized feeling.”
