A friend of mine told me the most sensual thing on Christmas Eve.
It wasn't even that sexual but it was lovely especially in the way she said it, and how I visualized it.
She told me she went to the Turks and Caicos Islands and it was a gorgeous sultry night - the moon was full and she was waist deep in blood warm water - it was still and shallow - she wasn't afraid – no sharks - I was always afraid to go in the Carib waters at night - she could see other couples at other directions near her doing the same exact thing - it was a group wade - silent - piously as if some kind of aquatic - erotic meeting with the seas was taking place- she walked - the sounds of night and the ocean were heard.
It was balmy.
The sand was clean.
She felt some little fish.
She said a prayer.
She thought about her parents in Cuba long gone and how the Fidel executed her father for wanting freedom - she wept - she meditated - she tried to forgive - not yet - maybe some day.
She went out far she said - so did the other couples - some made love in the shallow waters - other spoke softly – others hugged and sang, some looked like they prayed.
Who knows?
It was stunning. The most striking thing though was when she told me that she floated on her
back - the water covered her ears and her long bluish black hair went all over the place - like Ophelia, cept she wasn't as tragic - she then saw a sky filled with stars - many stars.
There was silence. She became the sea and the universe all in one.
She saw a shooting star through the corner of her eye.
She had an orgasm. It was pure joy - it was gorgeous.
She swore she felt a dolphin. She walked out about a quarter of a mile feeling she was safe all the time – she slept deep that night back at the bungalow.
She felt whole.
