“The erotic state – again, a mixture of concentration and spontaneity – is a hypnoidal state, probably the most powerful kind that we are capable of experiencing, and it is in this condition that unexpected regions of the self are revealed, as the majority of people know from experience.”
– Peter Redgrove, The Black Goddess and the Unseen Real: Our Uncommon Senses and Their Common Sense
“This openness, which is closed again as soon as we face a partial relationship, the one who understands only one part of us, is the miraculous openness which takes place in whole love.”

“So you ask “WTF is wrong with you?”
It’s a simple answer. These thoughts in my head.
The same thing that is wrong with everyone. These thoughts in my head.
It’s not all that bad. These thoughts in my head.
It’s not all the time. These thoughts in my head.
It’s better than most. These thoughts in my head.
I am in love with you no matter what. These thoughts in my head.
I am in love with the possibility of your love. These thoughts in my head.
How did this happen? These thoughts in my head.
Why so long, why so long. These thoughts in my head.
A very long story. These thoughts in my head.
I will survive. These thoughts in my head.
I will overcome. These thoughts in my head.
It will take time. These thoughts in my head.
So I ask “WTF is wrong with you?””
Will Hard, Publisher, Attempted Love

“To love is to see myself in you and to wish to celebrate myself with you. What I love is the embodiment of my values in another person. Love is an act of self-assertion, self-expression and a celebration of being alive.”
