There comes a warning like a spy
A shorter breath of Day
A stealing that is not a stealth
And Summers are away
-Emily Dickinson
“Both sexual love and spiritual experience are engaged in the activity of union, of becoming one with the Other. This is why these are probably the two most powerful forces in most people’s lives, because both Eros and spirit return us to the original nature of Being. Everything else is some distortion of that fundamental longing. — Jane Hirshfield
