BECOMING the Storm...(the Reconnections)



BECOMING the Storm........ (the Reconnections)

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, that's what I think.



I don't want salvation
I want life, all of life .............
I will have tasted the banquet that they have 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 capture the grand prize: the safety of the void.



To fashion of life such a petty game is unworthy
of both men and gods.




~From "Jitterbug Perfume," by Tom Robbins
