Inflorescence and juju

The natural way says certain things are meant to be, like the rising of the sun, the ebbing of the tide, even the whorl of flowers around a stem. So when two people come together, I can't help thinking, Yes, of course. His hand like an amulet, her body like a charm. They are made in this fashion for a reason, as beautiful and inevitable as the flight of an eagle. They are made to feel and act, and they are made to breathe and bleed. Take from them what you will, because you can never take that.
