Dying For The Loved One

Can any lover know what love is who prudishly refuses entry to the loved one's face (as if it were possible!) by always thrusting his or her own in the way? Can any lover fail to know what love is who submits to this invasion so delightedly, when to look at is to die for the loved one? (Douglas Harding. Quoted in Seeing Who You Really Are by Richard Lang)

Really to love another - with or without benefit of sex - is to go down to the level where he or she is no longer another, but the self of oneself. (Douglas Harding. Head Off Stress.)
