Little Gifts

When I held her close, I could feel her heartbeat. 

Her hair smelled of wildflowers and moss.

Duality

You cannot by any means diverge from the Tao. You may love life or you may loathe it, yet your loving and loathing are themselves manifestations of life.

If you seek union with Reality your very seeking is Reality, and how can you say that you have ever lost union?

—Alan Watts

On Pleasure

For to the bee a flower is a fountain of life,

And to the flower a bee is a messenger of love,

And to both, bee and flower, the giving and

the receiving of pleasure is a need and an ecstasy.

~ Kahlil Gibran
