Mystery Lover

“The mystery lover comes not just to satisfy our sexual longing, but to complete our lives.  Sexual gratification always points to a greater satisfaction of absolute longing.  In sex we are always under the wedding dome, our physical union always a reflection of and participation in a divine intercourse.  We should take our desires seriously, even the most mundane, because they may signal the presence of the angel partner, the deeply interior lover, who alone is responsible for the creation of a life.”                                                                                                                                                  Thomas Moore, The Soul of Sex
