dear karyn

Rob,
Good morning sunshine!
Today's quote: "Well," said Pooh, "what I like best," and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.
~A.A. Milne

Dear K,
This one i can't get behind, partly because i'm a sensualist, and partly because it reminds me of those people (mostly men, but women too) who claim that the chase is more exciting than than the having, when it comes to romance. I think only people who are crashingly emotionally immature, and have no idea what a good consummation can feel like, could ever say that. To me, with food or sex or running up and down a mountain, being in the moment is more exciting than anticipation or memory (though sometimes memory is so very sweet).
hugs

i'm with you in part, but have to offer up some dissent - since anticipation and memory are their own moments as well, regardless of the fact that they're connected with another. and isn't there something so Divinely, delightfully indefatigable about the imagination - you cannot, no matter how hard you try, bring it to an end.
