THE LIVING BODY SEEKS CONSTANT EXTENSION AND BESTOWAL

living body

The living body seeks constant extension and bestowal.  It
expresses itself out of an abundance of itself.  When this
abundance is not expressed, it becomes a liability.

Sex is an excess of self.  It must be ever given.  This is the
story of creation.

Life in every expression of itself, in all living things,
generates itself to a point of excess.  This excess must then
be relinquished.  By every law of commitment, it unites
with that to which it is attracted or with which it has
an affinity and which also is in excess.

A sin of life is to withhold that which one has in excess.

NATURE ALLOWS

Nature allows
the greatest return
to the physical body
that respects its own
sanctity.
