Gravitas

From June 11, 2010

Connection is the gravitas of human relationships.

Without it, we continue on, starving, haunted by a thirst that can only be quenched by grace, fueled by a need that can only be met when spontaneously given, and unable to experience the release of death, the relief of unbridled acceptance. We go on living, but living without nourishment.

Our mouths seek the mother breast, the milk and honey of intimacy. Without it, we are adults in the desert of inopportune timing. Clocks tick fast or slow. Cups have holes. We're early or late, wet and dry.
