I just love this quote – “the human race tends to remember the abuses to which it has been subjected rather than the endearments

― Bertolt Brecht
It is so true, we do forget the good things. We have scars on our hearts, but they in my mind should be left to heal, rather than constantly picking at the scabs in the daily grind of “how did that happen”, “that makes me feel rotten” etc etc, we can use them as little signs of our existence, our colourful life which is what makes us to who we are in the here and the now and we can move on and enjoy ourselves, perhaps a little wiser….Thank you for joining the Eclectic Corner #2 Decadence – It is a wonderful photo and good luck with ALL your challenges, lol you are going to be busy over Christmas in so many ways xxx
Thank you. It is way past time for me to let some scars heal and just live.
yes, both of us, all of us probably in some way…You seem to be healing well and we are all here for each other xx
“Her skin soft, his fingers searching”
Beautiful, touching, passionate.

Thank you. Thought it time for a change in tone…
I do love the gritty and the terror but this sweetness is divine.
Life can sometimes be a combination of the two.
Ain’t that the glorious truth!!
great picture and wonderful quote!
Thank you!
Beautiful quote Andy and loved the shadows and whites in the sculpture 🙂
Thank you!
Oh no!! I think ive just been converged. I’ll attempt this when i settle on my return home 🙂 thanks!
Really powerful image btw.
We will look forward to it!
It’s a little wicked and a lot divine. Both the image and the words, which are a perfect convergence. I feel a bit sacrilegious, commenting on this obviously personal post… But then I couldn’t resist. Btw I very much love that you left the poem unsaid and ended with “become” without saying what.
I am happy that you liked it…the poem (if poem it is) leaves a space to be filled…like life itself perhaps?
Yes please. And I don’t like it, I love it.
So much for the better then, and again, thank you…
