“ It’s like… waiting in fear to be crushed and cast away to the wind upon the moors. Like dust from dried up old bones- while our soul tread through time searching in unceasing hunger for the softness of that touch that drew life from us and gave eternity instead… I feel like a ghost popping in and out of the real world searching for someone I once knew and fearing that in this life time I won’t find her but I must journey on because my love for her is greater than my ideas of what is real life. And the pleasure that living affords with out her seem to lack true satisfaction. But then I think we are frighten of pleasure and the exuberance of joy, not only found in the other but that we may find the light of love in ourselves. That’s why we journey in search, chasing something in the distant that stands as close to us as our eyes… People find pain and disappointments easier to handle, it’s the way we have been programmed in this patriarch society. It feels comfortable and safe to be in fear. We know it, and it’s a formality we have befriended because we associate it with being human. One must be in control, the other in fear and all suffers pain. Where as pleasurable love and all good things that are free with its splendour, we believe belongs to the gods and that it is not for us, not here, not now. Nonetheless, it’s the God/dess in ourselves we fear of being over powered from and yet… we seek them. We yearn to know this love with out conditions, deeds or dominance and unite with it” For a moment Geoffrey understood something he had only felt when Edna would tell him about a new world, a new beginning- then the possibility of it became overwhelming. “But the power of such a love is too great for the frail human vessel to contain. It must have an outlet” Then as if he had a stoke of genius, he cried “Yes that’s it ! It must illuminate the universe or empty it self into another vessel like a fountain that empties itself into a pool- only to be refilled by it again. In other words another portion of the Eternal Self that is on par with its will. A goddess who recognizes the god in me and I, in her. She is the only one who would be able to contain such a love as I have to express! We are always looking for someone to love us, when in truth what we seek is someone or something we can love- pour ourselves into…”
