You can't hide from darkness,
In Winter, especially,
Cresting at fourteen,
Hours permanently painted,
Hours permanently painted,
An endless abyss
Of Blue followed by Grey
Climaxed... with a final curtain
Of Unrelenting Black
Of Unrelenting Black
Those of us in the Northeast know too well how long those fourteen hour nights can be. It often feels the darkness is waiting, hovering early as noon, for the chance to descend and take over. You can feeling it breathing on the back of your neck, until it breaks through around four or five o'clock, content that it has taken over, owning more than half our your day.
Stick to the blues, that's my advice on how to handle the long winters. If you allow yourself to fall into the grey's, then blackness is inevitable. The blues can be handles, even controlled if you're savvy. You can channel them into binge watching on Netflix, a glass of wine or a big bag of chips. If you're really on your game, you can even channel them into housework or exercise, but not every day, some days positive options are out of reach.
One of the best ways to remain in the blue zone, and ensure the grey's are safely pushed back, at least for a time, is channeling them carnally. Sex is often a good temporary suppressant, powerful enough to keep the greys at bay, for awhile anyway, if you're dedicated. Whether with a partner, or with yourself, channelling your energy sexually is more than just a quick tug, shove and organism, holding back the grey requires more energy, commitment and creativity.
Sometimes days it's easier than others, some days, all the creativity in the world can't keep grey at bay. But.. most days, if you welcome the blues instead of running from them, the results, and those fourteen hour nights, can be something you greet with intention not dread.
When Richard Rothstien sent on his hot mess Christmas shoot with Sergey Sheptun last month, I focused a piece (HERE:) on the images that embodied the frenzy that Christmas can so often be. With this set of images, of Sergey in bed in his snowflake onesie, I had those winter days, and endless winter nights, after the holiday's are over in mind.
Although alone swaddled in his deep satiny blues, Sergey's sexual energy more than ensures the greys and blacks are kept firmly at a distance. Speaking of sexual energy, Richard has just started an OnlyFans page and is planning on going more hardcore with his images of Sergey, and of others, than you've seen on FH, or Richard's site or social media pages.
