It is Valentine's Day. I am thinking about Love. And Lust.
So many times, I have heard Love and Lust being mentioned together as if they belong together, as if one leads to another, as if they are similar items grouped together like "table and chair" or "pen and pencil" or "bread and butter"
In my opinion Love and Lust belong together but more like Night and Day.
Yes, they are opposites.
Lust has reasons. Love has none.
When my heart is full of love, my thoughts are focused on the other - the person I love. Selfless.
When I am lustful, I am focused on me. Self-gratification.
Since I am a lark (morning person) and Paul is a night owl, we agreed to have separate bedrooms.
Sometimes, when I see him sleeping, I will watch him for a bit, mouth open, covers askew, arms and legs all over the bed.
Sometimes, I will plant a gentle kiss on his forehead and let him sleep in peace.
Sometimes, I will jump into his bed and be all over him (hoping to get lucky).
Sometimes I am in Love and sometimes I am in Lust. You know which one is which.
Love embodies patience.
Lust is hurried, impetuous and intolerant.
Love is a cool breeze, while Lust is a scorching volcano.
Fortunately for me (and Paul) Love and Lust are inextricably intertwined. Just like the dark and light colors are twisted together in this quilt.
Although this blogpost is titled Love and Lust, that would be such an inappropriate name for this baby quilt.
I am going to call it Tropic Frolic, because of the bright colors playing with each other.
The finished quilt measures about 40 inches by 45 inches.
And I am very happy with it.
And one more picture...just because.
This year, instead of buying a Valentine's Day card, I decided to make one. With fabric.
Chose this bright and spicy hot fabric.
I chose Lust over Love. Definitely made him laugh :-D
