Massage and the Devine

I've been making it a priority to pamper myself these past few months. Have been seeing a masseuse regularly, and I have to tell you, there's something so seductive about those little murmured pump sounds, then slathering the lotion on my flesh, ready to work my me like rising dough.

My masseuse isn't the friendliest woman. She'll even admit most find her grumpy, if not downright negative. And she does have the crusty exterior. Yet flick off a bit of this subtle earth, and you'll find a warm heart with very strong hands, and a skill with soothing my body knots and sinew....

She reminds me of my clients at times. Presenting with such a gruff exterior, only hiding the dewy morsel of warmth deep within.
