VENTURE INTO SAMSARA

"There is a time when sexuality is the expression of meeting.  This time
is joyous, free from ulterior motive, and, without restriction, everything
is possible because images have not been formed, icons have not been
developed and attachment has yet to begin.  All is Mystery.

"There is a time when sexuality is the expression of release.  The daily
routine builds division between symbolic dualisms.  Tension focusses
around sexual release.  This time is dangerous, fraught with peril and
evocative of attachment as a source of relaxation.  Like a drug, sexuality
of this type can be addictive and insidious, blurring boundaries between
need and desire, love and lust, concern and control.

"There is a time when sexuality is the expression of ritual.  This time
is contained, symbolic and therefore potentially transformative,
especially if involving mythic themes/roles of death and rebirth.

"There is a time when sexuality is the expression of recreation.  This
time is the most difficult to evaluate.  If it is truly recreational,
then few problems will arise.  The difficult lies in the many reasons
people will engage in so-called 'recreational' sexual expression.  This
might range from the need for nurturance and affection to the plan to
secure a monogamous attachment in order to escape de-personalization
and isolation."

AUMMM!!  What a void of joy, what a complete blurr of rapture I feel!

Wild One how lovely it is to be in your presence.
I cannot remember your face, though we stared long into each other's eyes.
Intrigued, I am transported merely by the thought of seeing you again.
How wonderful to hold you, to stroke you softly; intense pleasure!
You continually surprise me with your candor, your strength, your depth.
Oh to taste your tender lips once more;
	to hear you speak of fond memories;
	to see you animate the very air around you with your beauty!

AUMMM!! AUMMM!!!!
