"Love, certain people think it is madness" - Plutarch In it's newness true passion addressed all that had been, was or would be. It was a natural and effortless harmony whose warm waters submerged our beings simultaneously, an Eden for two bodies. Symbiosis of man and woman, reunited ad infinitum since creation in a cyclical swim without beginning or end. It was a meld of minds whose gentle drift assumed the thoughts of one in that wordless dream where desire has no name. Only later would others teach that this was ignorance and add the devilry of shame. Later still religion's foremost concern, the taboo of sexuality, was revealed. We ran, clothed in ragged disgrace, our agape' now abashed, our own origin now a sin. From this we learned lust and shackled with morals, jealousy, distance, sought to arouse base passion with obstacles to inflame us. An unyielding world set hurdles to control our race through this time, our race for truth........ "Happy people have no history" - French Proverb |

Sagaciously said. Somehow, I get the feeling you've learned to avoid any hurdles placed in your path. You don't have to jump over them or avoid them anymore, just deny their validity and they go away. |

umm..Can I have your autograph? LOL! Have I asked you that before?  You are a fine fine writer, Sir!  I love this. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Beautifully put! So true...our run from Eden seems a dark forest of thorns and frustration. More! Sincerely, Regina |

 (sad sigh) All these obstacles have indeed affected our hearts, and the jealousy and lusting lies within real romantic hearts. (big hugggssssss) Oh Richard, your wisdom shines in all these wonderful words, and passion speaks from your heart so eloquently! (smiles) God Bless You, sweet friend! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Richard, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

RSWells, I once wrote a Haiku that went something like this. In the begining God created the end and We still cope with both. Enjoyed the write. |

This has a feel of Shakespeare - it's truly best read aloud I think (just as long as your boss doesn't hear you). Wonderfully done sir.  |

Ah, words filled with the wisdom you have learned through a lifetime of observation. A great write that opens our eyes and makes us wonder if this truly is progression.  Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
