A soul to dig the hole much deeper...."
-Alanis Morissette "All I Really Want"
Most anyone can enjoy the pleasure sex brings. Don't mistake me- I love sex as much as the next person (but it's something I truly enjoy if there's a deeper connection). Superficiality does nothing for me at this point in my life. What thrills me to my bones is a deeper connection that goes far beyond the act of sex. Artist Alanis Morissette captures it beautifully in the lyric "All I need now is intellectual intercourse".... a perfectly coined sentence. I crave deep emotional, spiritual, and intellectual connections. Find all three with one person and one's hit the proverbial jackpot. It's rare, it's lovely. "Connect with me" my brain has long screamed yet I chose to ignore it. Mostly I believed it was a fairytale-fun to imagine but never to materialize. Capture me with your intellect. Seduce my soul. Look deep into my eyes and truly stimulate me on all intangible levels. This isn't to downplay physical intimacy which doesn't necessarily equal sex. It's skin to skin contact-it's bedtime sweet pillow talk. These are the types of things that fill me up until my cup literally runneths over. Call it what you may-a kindred spirit, a soul mate, a twin flame but I am hear to state (okay shout) it does exist. Although it may come more easily in the beginning-it's easy to become complacent once the newness has faded. However, reading, sharing, and growing together can only strengthen these types of bonds. It can be cultivated and there are no limits to its growth. Patience and faith will lead one there.
