According to the myths of India, waking someone up from a dream is like disturbing a 25 year coitus.

I need some clarification on this. I've had some vivid dreams that seemed to span a day at the most but 25 years? Is it a statement about one's emotional commitment to a dream? I don't know about you but my reaction to being interrupted during *ahem* is way more animated than being wakened from dream.
I guess the mystics of the East have tapped into an interpersonal (or somnolent) truth that is over my occidental head.
This anthology of vignettes about the course of love seeks to bring to the surface the moments and scenes, memories and feelings experienced by the many faces of love. The Kissing Lessons gives us something to talk about -- a little mystery to figure out. Let's talk about love: loving, being loved, and being love
But, as Shakespeare wrote in A Midsummer Night's Dream, "The course of true love never did run smooth."
Fascinated by the movement of desire through Myth, literature, lyrics, religions, history, and shared experience -- and loving any good love story that arrests the heart and warrants a good sized cry towel -- I am a hopeless romantic at heart. But also a heady academic with a penchant for the feminine divine, who is rooted in a darling body wrought with emotions and feelings and perceptions of the vast and interpersonal relationships of the world, and effervescently intrigued by the dissolution of the fuzzy boundaries of self and other.
