The fear of dying
Sensual preciousness happens when one embraces the
fear of death, so dies, and becomes.
The beloved is
this fear of death.
Here, the Warrior Quester provides insight,
though not direction. For the beloved will always
be Other, private and distinct. The beloved will age and change and
pass away, so leaving the other beloved to embrace
them beyond the embracing moment. How terrible
and terrifying!
But it is so in the most majestic and awe-inspiring,
gasping way. In like manner, the beloved will bid farewell
to the precious Other as he/she passes away. Such terror! Such
dark beauty! Only sensual preciousness prepares
the beloveds for their coupling beyond
the nurturing embrace as they are made manifest as Forever-Family.
Sensual preciousness knows the hag, the crone, the
shriveled breasted witch and gives them their due.
For there is no denial of the negative, the demented,
the sick part of the beloved.
It also knows the old man, the wizened coot,
and the incontinent husk of former virility.
It knows these in that
they are moments in the senescence, recognized as manifestations
of Life’s vital zest as it readies to transform.
