Cassanova's Gift

Notes from The Halls of Freedom : IX

There must be a zillion things that have been written about love. At this point in Darwin's calender it would appear passe' for us to continue speaking of love. What may be possible is to speak of all that has been said about love and to affirm that they're all true. Its as Rodin said about the statue of Venus de Milo, its not one thing more in need of love than the rest.

However this will present some problems in syntax as we try to express it. Nor is it possible to bring into view a complete picture of love. It may however be possible to select from the entire ' Rama,' those parts that help a man understand love in the world.

I have come to meet the acquaintance of someone who is in a system that is preparing that person for a life of perfection as a future specie. That person I believe may today be experiencing the usual rehearsals for such an achievement. I don't believe that person identifies with the gender divide. But despite having the reasoning mind of a man and the body of a woman ' she ' is obliged to subscribe to the usual convention of female in the world's society.

She has a sister in association with her personality. Her sister is identified with her personality as female on account of the social pressures. Together they manage an on off relationship with the facets of the personality that occupies her conscious. The sister is especially particular that no male should make contact with that future being on account of the need to maintain a balanced and self consciously rational mind in the social environment.

I find that my hands are tied by the situation I am facing, especially in fulfilling any haste that might be experienced by her ' house ' of relations. I am of the view that the situation is a fair one and should be complied with. The love sought by the future being is founded on a condition of eternity. That we already have in the subtle coincidences of the heart. We may need to understand that better.

The situation is reflective of the condition of all men today. It explains the muddle we go through in the affairs of the heart. It explains what a man never understood about women. They are not angels of mercy. They want to be as rational as the next guy. Its the new reality and the new world.

Its the never ending story. Its the gift of life to itself. Its the activity we engage in with heart and mind to occupy our attention. Its the play of creation. Its life and in understanding it we understand the world.
