"A Thousand times touched." by Erik HYPERLINK "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erik_Pevernagie"Pevernagie, 100 x 120 cm, Oil on board A thousand times people may wonder about the real worth of their relationship or the true value of their encounters. A thousand times people may question the quality of their being together with others. Let us not subside into a single mandatory way of thinking or feeling, immersed by a spirit of self-gratification. But let’s dig into the fresh energy of new boundaries and pick the blossoms of poetry welling up along the path of our life, and enjoy the innocence of the little wonders of every day. If no signal ever awakens any smoldering desire or seething passion in the wasteland of our mental universe, only a third eye may throw inspiriting light on the path to good vibrations. "Cordial or commercial", that is an essential question in relationships. How heartwarming is it when we experience the instantaneity and radiance of a sunny smile or scent an air of unexpected willingness. In contrast, how smashingly disheartening is it not when everything appears to be merely contrived or profit-driven and anything but cordial or empathic. The magic of authentic emotions is precious. We should cherish it and keep it uncorrupted. Faked feelings can only be ignored.
