This painting does something to me. A man who by day is a knight, supposed to show strength and valour, coolness and aloofness, meets in secret a woman who cannot be his. He grasps her arm in despair and brushes her hand, her fingers with soft kisses of his lips swollen with arousal, thinking that this is the first and only time he has dared to touch her, that he must remember this moment for the rest of his life, her scent, the softness of her skin, and she turns away, not wanting him to see the expression on her face, her flushed cheeks, her passionate longing and desire to be his.

i love the feeling of getting “clearer” as you get older, like with each year there’s less room for messing around or pretending or playing a game with something you know deep in your heart is not right for you. it’s like your brain just gets better and better at cutting you off as you consider something and tells you “no that is not for me” before you can jump in. and it’s not as if things get more serious, but the opposite. you have freedom in giving yourself more and more permission to purposefully live life and go after whatever you want and to love freely knowing that things are secure in your heart and mind.. at least when i am struggling i know that the “clearing” is really what’s happening
