MEANING
"i want to listen to her undulating motion, see her enraptured sounds, smell her raw desire, feel her sensual song, and taste her carnal colors" ― bodhinku, susurros sensuales

"susurros sensuales (junto al molina)" is spanish and translates in english as "sensuous whispers (by the mill)"...

"sensuous" is defined by merriam-webster as:

1. relating to or affecting the senses rather than the intellect

2. characterized by sense impressions or imagery aimed at the senses

3. attractive or gratifying physically, especially sexually.

i'm the olde grist mill, she's the sensuous stream...

i know her, she knows me. we've been together before, though i have no memory. i can see her, but i cannot touch her. right there next to me she flows day and night. i'm there waiting for her to come find me again, make me useful, make me function again as i was meant to be...i need her to flow over me, through me, into me, but i patiently just wait for my one day when i know she will be there for me again finally...

she knows me through my senses, not my mind. i feel her, i do not need to think about her. she is beautiful, her colors, her flowing body...but my attraction to her goes way beyond the visual. her sounds, her smells, her taste, her touch. she lights up all my senses and sets me on fire, and only her waters can calm and soothe me, bring me peace.

i want to listen to her undulating motion, see her enraptured sounds, smell her raw desire, feel her sensual song, and taste her carnal colors...

i want to shed everything, all my clothing, all my fear, all my disbelief. all i want is to strip down, become bare naked. body, soul, and heart. i want to enter her stream and let her wetness wash away all my cares. let her flowing love clear away all my thoughts, so all i hear are her sensuous whispers pulsing in a rhythm, eroding away all the noise...

i whisper her name without words. she's right next to me, yet so far far away...and she's there waiting for me to find her, i know this in my heart. i have true faith...

i hear her in my lucid dreams whispering to me, she's softly flowing blue waters in a forest stream. she's crystal clear and pure, all through the darkness and into the light. like the trees i need her water to nourish me, and i have her sensuous whispers to know i'm loved...

"i feel her whispers echo deeply throughout my entire body, exotic and titillating, vibrations of erogenous erotica awakening all my senses" ― bodhinku, sensual whisper

this song from 1995 is a funky tune with a unique sound that only the great stevie wonder could cultivate, creating a groovy sensual feeling like its title implies...and also it's named the same as my impression today (only in english), plus with its lyrics, it is the perfect accompaniment to connect music with the meaning of my impression and blog today: "sensuous whisper" by stevie wonder ... (just click on any of the words in the powder blue links to listen to the tune and watch the video) ...

"i've seen you, i saw you, i see you without little notice, if any at all of you knowing me watchin' you. you're walking, you're talking, you're smiling, you're styling in everything your body wears and that's not just a point of view. they're panting, they're ranting, they're raving about miss lovely, got it going on from her head down to her toes. and no one knows better than i know because i've been listening to the spirit of your body, mind and soul that makes my body weak (it's that sensuous whisper) that's sweeter than the sweetest sweet (it's that sensuous whisper) that makes my psyche say ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...can hear you, can smell you, can taste you. i thought my senses never had the pleasure of that lovely wonderment. but i start to shaking, i shiver, to think that little sparkle in your eye means you're giving me some kind of hint. i'm ready, i'm willing, i'm able. in fact, those words are at the tip of my tongue eagerly waiting for me to say then you smile and whisper, "how are you?" but when i move my lips and try to speak, the words just go away. that makes my body weak (it's that sensuous whisper) that's sweeter than the sweetest sweet (that sensuous whisper) that makes my psyche say ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...that's got me trippin' out (it's that sensuous whisper) that i don't wanna do without (that sensuous whisper) that makes me want to shout ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...i don't even care how long it takes, as long as i have you lying next to me. because to wait forever and a day is a small price to pay if it's you i'm getting. if it's you i'm getting, i'm not quitting, not quitting, and that is how i'm living. i'm clinging, not dreaming, but scheming with my nose against the grind and both my eyes focused upon the prize. i think it, i trust it, i know it. your love that i've longed for is gonna be mine. good things do come in time. i'm right on the rhythm you're giving. but this is more than giving up some casual mental telepathy. the music, the candles, the champagne and all that's needed is one thing to give it authenticity. that makes my body weak (it's that sensuous whisper) that's sweeter than the sweetest sweet (it's that sensuous whisper) that makes my psyche say ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...that's got me trippin' out (it's that sensuous whisper) that i don't wanna do without (it's that sensuous whisper) that makes me want to shout baby ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...that makes my body rock (it's that sensuous whisper) that makes me beg baby, don't ever stop (it's that sensuous whisper) that always get me hot, baby ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...that makes me feel alright (it's that sensuous whisper) that keeps me wanting you morning, noon and every single night (it's that sensuous whisper) don't want you out of my sight, baby. ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...sensuous whisper, baby (it's that sensuous whisper) oh sensuous whisper (it's that sensuous whisper) sensuous whisper, all night we're making it ooh-we, ooh-wee, ooh-we...(it's that sensuous whisper) yeah" ― stevie wonder, sensuous whisper

"she leaned over and said softly into my ear: i want you...her whisper thundered, exciting every single part of my body" ― bodhinku, whisper thundered

"you do not want this." this is the voice in her head that says, "you do not want him." this is that space in your bed that says, "bet i could fuck him..." isn't it lonely? these are the standards to which you could hold me. think that you know me. you think that you could if you hold me. think you could try to console me, but i do not know me. no, i do not know me because i sabotage the things i love the most. camouflage so i can feed the lie that i'm composed. "you do not want this" sabotage the things i love the most "you do not want this" camouflage so i can feed the lie that i'm composed "you do not want this."

"he's a tree, grounded to the earth, yet reaching for the sky. but he loses hope at times. his faith has been shaken to his roots. he tries to believe in something more and sometimes it’s hard. but he's sifting through the fallen leaves, working through the lessons and crafting new beliefs with his own fingers. he has been struck by lightning and burned to his core. he has been split in two by love and suffered the aftershocks....he's a dancer. and even without a partner, he'll continue to dance and thrive, but it can take time. he needs someone who can meet him equally in the bedroom. he’s not looking to dampen down his desires and swallow his fantasies. he wants someone to dance with him in the fires of ecstasy. he’s looking for a passionate, soul deep sacred union, not just a disconnected quick-fix one-and-done dance...he’s deep, dark and layered. within him beats a kind heart of gold, glowing with love and hope. but with feelings just as deep, he can spend a lot of time dancing with his shadows and moving through the darkness. there are lessons for him here, between the light and the abyss...he does want to be deeply loved, cherished, and adored, but he may have given up on that dream a long time ago. this doesn’t mean he wants to be solitary forever, but it means that the bar is raised higher on who he'll let dance with his sacred soul and be embraced by the powerful beauty of his love. for his heart is worth it. his love is a once-in-a-lifetime, out of this world, rare and mystical dance to behold and be enfolded by. his heart and his love is one of the most courageous, beautiful, passionate and powerful things you will ever encounter on this planet. true, his dance is not for the faint of heart, but this dance is worth it. he will make every single step and movement count, every moment, every heartbeat, always, this i promise you" ― c. ara campbell (with additions by bodhinku)

"she didn’t need a mask of perfection, only his authenticity with truth etched upon his brow and the glow of real love shining in his eyes. she didn’t want some unrealistic ideal, only the beating of his heart against hers and a smile etched on their lips...he would drink her in like it was the most natural thing he had ever done, summoned from the core of his spirit like needing to satisfy an ancient thirst. feeling the depth of the pull towards her, he would open his arms to her mystery not turn and run...without taking a step, he would fall deep into the place that he was always meant to be, by the side of the girl who smelled of sandalwood and open fields after a long summer rain; intoxicating, fresh air that would fill his lungs all in one easy breathe with a depth that eased him and soothed him to the bottom of his soul" ― c. ara campbell, in the scatter of her stars

ABOUT THE IMPRESSION

"i hear her in my lucid dreams whispering to me, she's softly flowing blue waters in a forest stream. she's crystal clear and pure, all through the darkness and into the light. like the trees i need her water to nourish me, and i have her sensuous whispers to know i'm loved" ― bodhinku, sensuous whispers

pictured here is an olde grist mill along side the flowing crystal clear-blue waters of glade creek as the last rays of the sun are peaking through the trees near sunset on a warm summer night in babcock state park close to landisburg, west virginia...

this impression was captured about 30 mins before sunset at 8:38pm on june 21st, 2021...it's comprised entirely of one long exposure (f/11 @24mm for 33secs, iso-64)...and this single frame was not merged with any other exposures like i often do with my photography to achieve the perfect lighting of the entire scene...

in my photography, i always use filters to create longer exposure effects, saturate colors naturally, and balance the light in my composition in-camera...i often use as many as four filters at time, and i always use at least one filter in my completed impressions...

for this exposure, to get the effects and balance i was looking for, i used two progreyusa filters in the capture of this composition, a 3.0 nd progrey antarctica filter to bring the light in the image down 10 stops to create this dreamy effect with motion blur of the water and naturally saturate all the red, blue, and green colors (rgb's) in the image, and a 0.9 gnd progrey aurora filter to help balance in-camera overall the image the way i envisioned it...in this case, to stop down the light in the sky and clouds at the top left of the image above the tree tops in the background an extra three stops to balance down the image and help permit details in all shadows of the mill in the middleground and stream in the foreground to come out better in the exposure...

i also used the progrey g-120z magnetic holder to hold the filters and secure them to my nikon d810 with a nikon nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8...

and with this being a long exposure of 33 seconds, a stable and sturdy tripod is an absolute necessity in order to keep the image sharp...i wish to openly thank my sponsors who have always supported me through both the good and bad times...for truly this long exposure impression would not be possible without the use of my induro phq3 series 5-way panhead with idduro stealth (now benro) tripod in combination with the progreyusa filters which i use with every photo i take...

"if nothing else...if i open my eyes, if i hope, if i cry, if i think, if i sigh, if i giggle, if i dance, if i love, if i breathe, then i have lived a full days worth of life, i'm blessed...nothing is wasted, nothing" ― bodhinku, if nothing else

"i do not want you to just be into my photography, instead, i'd much rather you take a journey into my pictures, and feel the impression i have created, feel it with all your senses" ― bodhinku, into my photography

"contemplate without thinking. be certain only in your uncertainty. stop the world. slow down everything. let it all be. shut off the noise. hush. relax. seize this moment. reconnect. feel and sense what surrounds you. listen to all the colors of light whisper as they envelope you. see the melody and harmony that float about unnoticed. taste the solitude of all this wonderment. smell the beautiful silence. now discover your peaceful serenity. then, reach out and touch your faith with all your senses. this is my world. awaken!" ― bodhinku, my world

"my photography is my way of keeping a diary" ― bodhinku, my diary

i leave you today wishing that bright joy

and spiritual peace fill your life...

imploring you to make every moment count,

no matter what, always and forever,

for that is the only thing that truly matters...

and above all else,

i hope this message and impression find you well.

namaste,

bodhi
