On sexual intimacy

Start foreplay with morning coffee, sitting together enjoying the sunrise...prepare breakfast together. Not just bacon and eggs, but 'whip' up something fanciful and special...spend the day laughing and discussing dreams and exploring the beauty of the all, from the macrocosm to the microcosm...touch each other's faces lightly, playfully as you stare into each others' eyes...pull away and venture forth some more. For lunch, if it's hot...make a mojito or two...if it's cold, a hot toddy. Or, if you're not a drinker...have a toke. Or, barring that...a cup of tea, hot or iced. Continue with the foreplay, teasing your bodies and taking it ever higher, while walking, talking and reminiscing of the past and of the future. Be timeless, barefoot if it's warm...skinny dip together at a private pond/stream...even if only stepping across wet stones.

Continue letting the sadhana build throughout the day, let it culminate with a very special meal made together. Get all 4 of your hands into the dough of a great bread, smell it baking. As the sun dips below the horizon, watch for the moon and stars on the crisp of the night. Have a toast to each other and to life with a good glass of wine. Hold each other. Caress each other. Drift off together into a suddenly compact universe of skin and breath and hair. Get lost in each other, nothing else matters for those long moments.
