The Leisurely Journey

The Leisurely Journey

By Annette Camp

I have a profound 

awareness that a 

symphony of 

chemicals ignite 

when the veil of 

intimacy is lifted, 

swirling like a 

fragrant mist 

around us.  

In the tender 

dance of touch, 

endorphins and 

oxytocin weave an 

intoxicating 

tapestry, often 

blurring the lines 

between genuine 

connection and 

the euphoria of 

the moment. 

May we find delight 

in the sound of 

laughter, the joy 

of gratitude and the 

quiet moments of 

tranquility that 

build a foundation 

of trust and 

sincerity.

I envision

our journey to 

physical 

affection not 

as a hurried 

sprint, but 

as a gentle, 

meandering 

stroll through 

a sun-dappled 

forest. 

In this leisurely 

journey, let our 

souls intertwine 

long before our 

bodies do, creating 

a bond resilient 

to the fleeting 

buzz of physical 

closeness. 

Together, let us 

relish the art 

of gradual 

discovery, 

allowing our 

connection to 

blossom in its 

own time, 

nurtured by 

patience and 

peacefulness.

With a heart 

full of hope, I 

tread these waters 

carefully. Let 

us savor the 

anticipation, 

cherishing each 

step and every 

shared glance.
