I have been a fan of Van Morrison and his music for just about as long as I can remember. A huge number of his songs take you on a spiritually inspired musical journey and it seems like he speaks to your soul, to your higher self.
Not only is his music inspirational but for me at least, it touches places deep down inside me that I have often been guilty of ignoring, denying the existence of, especially in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. They are also often great love songs and great poems (Just read the lyrics if you get a chance)
There are too many songs to choose a favourite from – depending on ones mood, one day one song reaches out to you more than another.
Today that song is: Someone Like You and this song is especially for Viola.
Here are some of the Lyrics:
I’ve been travellin a hard road
Lookin for someone exactly like you
I’ve been carryin my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come
Shining through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. someone exactly
Like you.
I’ve been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different
Drum.
But just lately I have
Realised
The best is yet to come.
We are creatures of habit and that even includes most of what we do sexually. That means that also the way we make love becomes a habit. We do it the same way, same positions and even on the same days. For most people sex has become a ‘goal-orientated’ activity. With the goal being the Orgasm. But we lose out on the pleasure along the way, as we get so lost in rushing to get there.
We could really get involved with our partner, if we took the Orgasm completely out of the equation, stopped being so concerned and hung-up with the end result, and if we were fully present, the pleasure we could get from that would be so much greater and the intimacy would be so much deeper.
You just think, sex with the lights off. How intimate can you be? Or how intimate can you be when your eyes are closed and you are lost in some kind of fantasy? In those moments, how connected are you really to your partner?
I am not suggesting that you don’t have Orgasms. Far from it. It is quite simple. I am suggesting to be fully present with your partner. Acknowledge the love you share and acknowledge each other. During lovemaking look into each others eyes. It kind of ‘forces’ you to be fully in the moment with your partner. I am sure you have heard the expression “the eyes are the windows to the soul“. Therefore looking into each others eyes gives you both the opportunity to share a soul connection. By doing that, you go beyond the physical into something deep and far more special.
