“There is a waterfall in the book I have read, you know the one, “Emotional Rhapsody” and it’s under the tropical waterfall where he first encounters the woman of his dreams. She was washing her long hair, and the waterfall acted as a shower. He was so mesmerized by the beauty of this woman that he could not even approach her to say hello. Instead, he enjoyed her beauty, drank up all her movements, all her expressions, the way she breathed, the way she washed her hair, the way she turned under the waterfall, the way she closed her eyes as the water ran down her head and body. He watched in silence as she washed her thighs, he lived a thousand years of love in that moment and he never even knew her name”
