Passionate couple(s)

 

The Sepia Saturday meme shows a kiss from a movie...full of passion! Of course they aren't quite kissing. But they sure look about ready to do so. I love the idea of actors giving such passion, while of course they are only acting.

Any photos of passion in my archives?

San Antonio, Texas. From my father's album...another photo said "before we were "we" and cupid hit us. I think all the rest of his photos were after cupid had struck between my parents.

My parents around the time they married in San Antonio, Texas.

My parents in their first home after their marriage in 1939.

My grandparents (my father's parents) Gummy and Poppy in 1955 in Houston, TX. 

My oldest son and his wife, Marty and Barbara.

Middle son Russ and his wife Michelle!

Youngest son Tai and his wife Kendra!

Today's quote:

We waste so much energy trying to cover up who we are

when beneath every attitude is the want to be loved,
and beneath every anger is a wound to be healed
and beneath every sadness is the fear that there
will not be enough time...

When we hesitate in being direct (authentic), we unknowingly
slip something on, some added layer of protection
that keeps us from feeling the world/life...

Our challenge every day is not to get dressed to
face the world, but to unglove ourselves so that
the doorknob feels cold, and the car handle
feels wet, and the kiss goodbye feels
the lips of another being...
