Art of the Masculine: do we dare?

Richard Sanchez's Photography

“How deeply do we dare plunge into the order of things, or look into form and content? Do we dare? Do we analyze belief through beauty, or perceptions of the Creator through the sexual allure of a woman, or thoughts of what is ideal about a woman’s perfectly fashioned body at ease reclined with cloths casually draped over her naked body? What is a fair assessment of the way a woman looks to a man? Does a man need to judge, or enjoy how she looks, or does he need to understand what is coming from within a woman of his desire? 

These are seven of more questions men ask during their lifetimes. Women present what they create within us with questions they may or may not ask in the open of us, but need answers to in the quiet spaces of their internal dialogue and speculation about who we are, as men, and where the value lies within us to create safe space in our physical space, and sacred space for them in our hearts..." © Gregory E.
