The highest function of love is that it makes the loved one a unique and irreplaceable being.

It was wonderful Pris.What was honey The meeting The champagneThe eclipse said Ricki. It was probably the most real thing Ive ever seen but it was also like a dream. You know what I mean Real and unreal beautiful and strange like a dream. It got me high as a kite but it didnt last long enough. It ended too soon and left nothing behind.Thats how it is with dreams said Priscilla. Theyre the perfect crime.

If desire causes suffering it may be because we do not desire wisely or that we are inexpert at obtaining what we desire. Instead of hiding our heads in a prayer cloth and building walls against temptation why not get better at fulfilling desire Salvation is for the feeble thats what I think. I dont want salvation I want life all of life the miserable as well as the superb. If the gods would tax ecstasy then I shall pay however I shall protest their taxes at each opportunity and if Woden or Shiva or Buddha or that Christian fellow--whats his name--cannot respect that then Ill accept their wrath. At least I will have tasted the banquet that they have spread before me on this rich round planet rather than recoiling from it like a toothless bunny. I cannot believe that the most delicious things were placed here merely to test us to tempt us to make it the more difficult for us to capture the grand prize the safety of the void. To fashion of life such a petty game is unworthy of both men and gods.

Perhaps that is why desire causes men calamity. By identifying with our desires and taking them too seriously we not only increase our susceptibility to disappointment we actually create a climate inhospitable to the free and easy fulfillment of those desires.

All dreams continue in the beyond.
