And the only cure

Unmet desire hurts

And the only cure is to not take it too seriously and to enjoy it

Dance it and yourself around and around until you are dizzy and just have to laugh

And then see others doing the same thing and you’re all sisters and brothers lovers and friends all in the all together dizzy and laughing

Which is the real Celtic orgy Being alive and in love with aliveness, energy and presence in yourself in the things you see and the people you feel

For a few moments or a lot of moments every day

It’s all always available and open wanting you inside and ecstatic all the time

Every moment is available and wants you as its lover

(from an email to a friend which I never sent
and with thanks to Hafiz and Daniel Ladinsky for The Gift)
