The True Chapters of Life

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

What Do I Love

When I’m not thinking about me, what do I love naturally?

Pure nature…

…the crisp, cold snow

…the beauty of the moon

….the trees in bloom

….and the mountains at noon

When I’m not thinking about me, what do I love naturally?

…..dogs in pure delight

….elephants as a marveled sight

…..birds that fly in flight

…..and precious rabbits a soft delight

When I’m not thinking about me, what do I love naturally?

Justice and peace….

…..for those who have little, just to have some

…..for those who love the same, can also love one

…..for those that hate, can somehow be free

….and for those that hurt, can know true peace

 When I’m not thinking about me, what do I love naturally?

…..The laugh of a child

…..The hug of a daughter

…..The silence of sounds

…..And somehow love all around.

It was then I had an orgasm of my soul and wept with delight
