The Definition of a Kiss...


"Kisses are a language. A special language. Limitless. And almost every woman or man could speak this language. Even if only just a little. And one can master this language only as good, as the other chooses to understand. These kisses. This language. Kisses always hold a message. Learn to listen closely. Kisses can be clumsy, cheap, played, false, habitual and practised. But also elegant, soft, wild, raw, finely nuanced, romantic and poetic, passionate, dramatic, personal, intimate, sad, joyous and glorious, love's declaration, a quiet whisper, a loud scream. And so much more. Kisses know no word for hate. It is the only language for which there is no alphabet or grammar to learn and refine. The language that becomes more beautiful with its intensity. More passionate. More beautiful the more often you speak this language of the kiss, with those that you love..."

Bruno Schulz

I don't believe I have ever heard a more beautiful definition of a kiss...

Originally written in German, I took the liberty of translating these words after I had read them, and caught my breath again.

And Bruno, I thank you for allowing that.

"Küsse sind Sprache! Eine besondere. Grenzenlos. Fast jeder könnte sie sprechen. Ein bisschen. Man beherrscht sie immer nur gerade so gut, wie der andere sie verstehen mag. Küssen ist immer Botschaft. Man sollte gut zuhören. Küssen kann plump sein, billig, aufgesetzt, verlogen, routiniert, aber auch elegant, sanft, wild, nuanciert, romantisch, poetisch, leidenschaftlich, dramatisch, persönlich, intim, traurig, glücklichst, liebeserklärend, leise, ein Schrei und so viel mehr. Küssen kennt kein Wort für Hass. Es ist die einzige Sprache, deren Vokabeln man nicht alleine lernen, üben und verfeinern kann. Die Sprache, die immer schöner wird, desto häufiger und intensiver man sie mit dem Menschen spricht, den man wirklich liebt ..."

That French Habit...


"I am in favour of preserving the French habit of kissing the hands of ladies. 
After all, one must start somewhere."

Sacha Guitry

I feel an intention of the day should be kisses...

Whether to bravely and spontaneously kiss a stranger.

Or to simply live as though you are kissing life. French kissing that is.

Blow kisses. Whisper kisses. Caress kisses.

It's good for your health. And so many other things.

It will change your entire day. Miracously. Into something wonderful.

And yes, that French habit...

Men, start somewhere. And surprise the women of this world.

Much Loves,

Angela.

Romance of the Unusual...


"Live the full life of the mind. 
Exhilirated by new ideas and intoxicated by the romance of the unusual."

Ernest Hemingway
