We deny ourselves nothing.

Only the tease of our delight
dims in distance.

It's what always draws us near.

When one more step would
break us -

We collide.

To only step away...and tease ourselves
in distance once more.

Very profound, you found a way to convey so much emotion, with so few words. I enjoyed reading this. Thank you for sharing.

Aahhhh...Dixie...we all have "been there, done that" countless times. This is Samsara, the seemingly endless cycle of birth, death and birth once more. The dance trickles down to every aspect of our selves.

We are Love born to know ourselves as the experience of you and I. The Infinite trickled down as human expressions. We always collide back to the source. Thats the Divine dance of who we are.

The key is to dance lightly.

In the end...we only dance with Angels.

Love,
Eric
