Be Mine? Be Yours

February 14, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 11 Comments

Those lovely little candy hearts. I can still remember sorting through them, seeking exactly the right sentiment and the perfect pastel color, ready to glue onto construction paper. Red, naturally. Then it was time for crayons, scissors, and Elmer’s. A bit of lace or velvet for a bow. A sprinkle of glitter and that would […]

The Hemingway Model: A Man’s Man

January 24, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 23 Comments

A “man’s man.” When I hear that expression, I think of Ernest Hemingway. Not of his literature, but his persona: the man who lives hard, the man who loves hard, the rugged man who can live off the land, who is unafraid to fight, who womanizes without apology. That is the Hemingway myth, or perhaps […]

The Defection of Affection

January 21, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 17 Comments

Have we forgotten the importance of affection? A quick embrace, an earnest hug, or the tenderness of taking someone’s hand? In our week days that seem to drag on as we count down to the next afternoon off, the next getaway, the next morning to sleep late; in our schedules in which we allot 60 […]

Pampering

December 11, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

I wouldn’t say I was a “girly girl” exactly. I’m strong. I’m opinionated. But I love the differences between men and women. Perhaps it is my years in France. Perhaps I should own up to a few girly girl tendencies all the same. But I’ve fallen behind. Way behind – in everything that enables me […]

Chemistry

October 2, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 7 Comments

Can’t keep my hands off. Can’t stop thinking about being together. Closing my eyes, and reliving. . . everything. Chemistry. That elusive element of sexual attraction – all the moments and threads, the knowing and not knowing, the words, the whispers, the silences. The piercing gaze you cannot turn away from. So many sensory experiences. […]
