INVITATION
This is a language
without words.
This is a time
outside of time.
This is a song
that sings
a celebration.
This is the touch of love.
INTRODUCTION
This is a book about love.
Love
is a feeling.
To express love
is called
nurturing.
This is a love book especially for lovers.
Your boyfriend, your girlfriend
your wife
your husband
your significant other, your lover, your mate
the label is not important
the feeling is.
You may be friends
exploring becoming lovers.
You may be lovers
exploring becoming friends.
What is most important
is that
what you do
is
consensual.
Massage simply stated
simply is
patterned touch.
We might say
a caress
is unpatterned touch.
Which you choose to give
or to receive
depends on the mood.
Be open to either.
Both heal.
Both nurture.
Both excite.
If you choose to caress,
close this book
and enjoy.
If you choose to massage,
study the following
and enjoy.
During
the massage,
either or both of you
might feel erotic.
You might fall asleep.
You might burst out in laughter
or in tears.
You might or might not
have sex before,
during,
or after.
However, should sex or orgasm become
the goal,
you might miss
many other pleasures.
Wait for each moment
each feeling
to unfold
itself.
Massage
is an art
when you
express yourself
with sensitivity
with awareness.
Let your touch
discover
without demands
without expectations.
At first
the techniques
will be
techniques,
like learning
to ride a bicycle.
After a while
the awkward will become
familiar.
Your touch
will come
to nourish
the body
the mind
and
the spirit.
You will also find
your lover’s body
— in stillness —
pleasuring your hands.
Let your fingertips
taste
the curve
the rough, the smooth
the firm
the soft.
Let yourself feel.
