I love your site. I stumbled upon it doing online research for kissing in Zen. I am a hopeful Zenizen, or so have tried to be for some years. My recent fascination and love is with Tantra. I am stunned by parallels in Zen. When I was researching the art of sensual loving and kissing within the pages of Zen mindfulness, I found this little beauty on an eharmony web page. I love it and wanted to share with your other vignettes.
THE KISS YOU CAN REMEMBER
The kiss you can remember Is not a real kiss Just as the circle you can see Is not a true circle The perfect kiss is as pleasant dream Pure experience untainted By awful reality of tangibles That everywhere surrounds us You must emerge from it With but vague recall Too fleeting to capture Too slippery to grasp Too pristine to bind By fetters of finite memory You will remember starting But if you bethink anything after Then, my friend, I'm afraid You must try again And again Until mindlessness becomes you
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.

One must let go in order to be free.
You know,

PS. It's easy - especially with so much else happening in your hot, amazing life.

THE KISS YOU CAN REMEMBER
The kiss you can remember
Is not a real kiss
Just as the circle you can see
Is not a true circle
The perfect kiss is as pleasant dream
Pure experience untainted
By awful reality of tangibles
That everywhere surrounds us
You must emerge from it
With but vague recall
Too fleeting to capture
Too slippery to grasp
Too pristine to bind
By fetters of finite memory
You will remember starting
But if you bethink anything after
Then, my friend, I'm afraid
You must try again
And again
Until mindlessness becomes you
Love and peace to all
Bridgette
