' The zipless fuck is absolutely pure . It is free of ulterior motives. There is no power game . The man is not "taking" and the woman is not "giving." No one is attempting to cuckold a husband or humiliate a wife . No one is trying to prove anything or get anything out of anyone. The zipless fuck is the purest thing there is. And it is rarer than the unicorn. And I have never had one .'

- Erica Mann Jong, Fear of Flying

We seek not rest but transformation.
We are dancing through each other as doorways.
We are ripples crossing and fusing, journeying and returning from the core of the apple, the eye of the mandala, the cave in the heart of the rose, the circle without boundries centered on silence
~Marge Piercy~

If I stand here, I can see the Little Red Haired girl when she comes out of her house... Of course, if she sees me peeking around this tree, she'll think I'm the dumbest person in the world... But if I don't peek around the tree, I'll never see her... Which means I probably AM the dumbest person in the world... which explains why I'm standing in a batch of poison oak.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

"Be kind to your enemies. Nothing annoys them so much." -Can't remember who said that one. Smart guy, though.

Reminds me of my Grandpa's motto: "Kill 'em with kindness."

And another of Stanley Jones Nixon's maxims: "Depression, what Depression? We were already dirt-poor!"

Is this not from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet? I would ask my wife, but she's... cranky.

Humor helps us to think out of the box. The average child laughs about 400 times per day, the average adult laughs only 15 times per day. What happened to the other 385 laughs?

People who ask our advice almost never take it. Yet we should never refuse to give it, upon request, for it often helps us to see our own way more clearly.
