Reading 1 Kings account of David and his virgin warmer on his “bosom”. Old is a powerful period. It is not you who are old it is all your parts, eyes, nose, toes, muscles, joints, all of you. And each part has its own issues which you must attend to. You know your body is wearing out, it doesn’t work as good or perform as well as it used to. But this also requires a certain level of creativity to do things in ways that compensate. God, I am glad you make us creative and wise to know how we can get things done. One way is to break tasks down into time frames which allows for accomplishment as well as recovery. We become sensitive to our bodies as never before. We also pay attention to things that matter and not to those that don’t. Full moons and baby raccoons come to mind. We become better lovers, land users, prayers, ecologists, and parents. We linger, piddle, put off, dawdle, hang back, and stick around. We tend to wounds, listen to long songs, cup our ear, and make better art. Warm water is a great miracle, and a warm lover is better. No young virgin here, something better, a 40-year-old model who works, fits and warms perfectly.
