Elke….so glad you found the strength and words for this remarkable piece.
🙏

I love your wording. Well done!

Each our own battles distract from another’s. Thank you for sharing yours to deflate the the imagined importance of mine. 🌼

Powerfully penned, Elke. Your imagery is precise, amazing write my friend. Appreciate you.

Wow Tim! I had never expected to read such a great and understanding comment to my writing! Of course I have my struggles with my condition. But I am also convinced that every problem presents us learning tasks. When we accept that challenge, we will be stronger and maybe a little wiser. To go through life with an open heart and lots of gratitude for all the wonders and blessings all around us was one of the lessons I have learned. And – everyone has their struggles and fights. Suffering is no competition. In the end, aren’t we all walking each other home?

Elke, Ich liebe es! Suffering from a disability myself, I can relate to the struggle. Our writing, however, makes you and me beat the disability and we come out as inspirational in our work. Sehr gut, Elke!

Your comment is mind-blowing and touches me deeply! You are so right, we can eithér give up and let the disease win or learn from it and transform the suffering into writing. Life has to offer many gifts despite of illness and disability. Maybe we appreciate them even more.
1000 und einen Dank!

I wish that I could somehow quench the flames that torment you, if only for a few hours…💞
and often thereafter

Thank you so much for your kind comment, dear Keith! It means a world to me! xoxo

Dear Elke, I love that I can make you feel good. I wish to do that often. Whenever you want…

Powerfully penned, Elke. A very clever write my friend, it kinda shows that humans never seem to learn. Excellent work, with a great message. Appreciate you.

Interesting take on pandemics. They certainly were not handled very well, but the vaccine for the modern one was was handed out fairly, in general. It was new territory so mistakes were made. I got all my shots and am glad of it. I do agree that there were too many restrictions put on the public at least here in the US.
This piece really made me feel like I was sitting there with the two ‘women’. You certainly have a talented pen Elke. To be transported to the moment you describe is really a rare and wonderful talent. I’m happy the you share it with us. I’d be happy to slip and fall in your direction. 😉 💙

You are a very good storyteller. To board people in their own homes to prevent the spread …yeah history did repeat itself with that. The difference is that people spoke online and got used to that, then speaking face to face. Thought-provoking piece.

loved the combination of Spirituality and eross

Image amazing and words are blazing with intensity. Love it

A pleasant sweat pushes through my pores as I read this.
It’s so sensual, but so much more too.
As you know, the mind is the most erotic organ.
Nice job Elke. Thanks.

Nailed it….
Spirituality is sexuality.
😘

Painting with words.
Like it a lot!
Kind regards, Gus

Brilliant

Elke, das war ein brillantes Wortspiel! Und es schreit, dass die Liebe zur Seele besser ist als die Liebe zum Sex.

Elke, this was brilliant wordplay! And it screams that loving the soul is better than loving in sex.

Vielen Dank für Deinen wunderbaren Kommentar. Daniel! Ja, das stimmt. Ich denke, dass an guten sexuellen Erfahrungen immer Körper, Geist und Seele beteiligt sind.
The union of body, mind and soul raises sexual pleasure to a spiritual dimension.
