NEOPHRASIA - 4
In previous issues, phraseological units were offered on the topics of vision (issue 215), socio-political (216) and creative relationships between people (217). The theme of this issue is intimacy, desire, choice.
heart-to-heart talk (heart-to-heart, on the pillow) - heart-to-heart talk in bed.
In English there is an expression pillow talk (lit. "pillow talk") - intimate conversation in bed. When translated into Russian, an additional meaning arises that is absent in English: “ pillow talk ” can be interpreted not only as a pillow talk, but also a heart-to-heart talk.
Marina Tsvetaeva wrote about soul-to-heart conversation : “For complete coherence of souls, coherence of breathing is needed, for what is breathing if not the rhythm of the soul? So, for people to understand each other, they must walk or lie next to each other.” (From a diary, 1917).
Tonya decided not to disturb her husband, but to postpone this delicate issue until
capitation conversation.
What could be more frank than a heart-to-heart conversation ! And what could be sadder,
if those lying next to each other have nothing to say to each other!
Vikentyev considered heart-to-heart talk the highest form of communication and was burdened by empty chatter in the living room and kitchen.
Kama Sutra of the subconscious - erotic visions, images, scenes that unconsciously flash in the head.
One morning, leafing through the Kama Sutra of his subconscious , he found there the figure of a girl, thin and flexible, like a willow branch.Mindalev is not a cynic at all. You never know what he talks about. We need to look into his subconscious. - What kind of subconscious is there ! Complete Kama Sutra .
line of desire , or line of attraction - a path that is trampled spontaneously by passers-by, bypassing asphalt, sidewalks, and officially laid paths. In a figurative sense, it is a line of movement contrary to established rules, customs, and regulations.
Tracing paper of the English expression "desire line".
I won't follow in my parents' footsteps. I don't need such a long-term career. I have my own line of desire .First, figure out how others do it, compare their routes, put them on a map. And then choose your line of attraction . And get carried away until the end!
Well, you've screwed it up! How many paths and crossroads! But I don’t see a clear line of desire in you yet. What do you want from life?
passive choice - a choice resulting from the absence or refusal of an active choice.
This expression is used in cases where they want to emphasize that the lack of choice inevitably becomes a choice, and far from the best.
When a person chooses not to make a choice, the result is usually a passive choice . For example, when a voter does not go to the polls, he automatically chooses the one for whom the majority votes.Passive choice is an escape from freedom. If you don't participate in the choice,If a girl does not dare to choose from two or more suitors, gradually they all leave and one remains, not the best, or no one remains. This is her passive choice .
others choose for you.

Aphorism
...Let it be your honor to always love more than to be loved, and
never be second.
Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), German philosopher.

Memo
Yom is a common name for all dimensions of space: depth, height, width and distance; feminine principle of being; what it receives , absorbs, draws into itself.
“ Yom ” differs from the word “space”, which is similar in meaning, because it indicates the property of free space to capture. Space is that which extends , expands outward; eat , on the contrary, is something that eats , draws into itself, contains, “takes in.”
Look at the air around you : the air is booming, fusible, stretching on all four sides. It seems that if you throw your hat, he will swallow it and spit it out behind that forest._________________________________________________________________“Nowhere in the world is there such a world as in Russia,” Zakirov said dreamily. “There are countries with a higher standard of living, with deeper cultural traditions, but for it to be so dark around, so drawn into the depths of space - no, this I haven't seen it anywhere."
Few people found the entrance to our chamber , and those who entered were unable to find a way out. They go into it like death - they don’t come back and don’t bring news. ( issue 9 )
