sacred (a statement of belief)

"Into the thump of the now with the juice of the yes dripping off the chin of the yum." - Mark Morford

"My point is, when I gasp "oh God, oh God" during sex, I'm not kidding." - The Pervocracy

"How is it different with me?", he asked, which is something almost no one asks. I had told him that I tend to see life through the lenses of relationships, of the important people in my life. This particular relationship was a poorly-conceived and terribly executed bit of (not-at-all harmless) fun. My answer sounds almost silly, looking back, but it was very true.

"I notice the sky," I said.

We were explicitly temporary. No pretense about the possible future, no room for that. We were a series of beautiful, transient moments, nothing more. A lovely storm cloud of a relationship.

(I know it really seems like this post is going to be all about sex, but I promise it isn't.)
