Foreplay with God

Foreplay for tasting again the sweaty skin of the Beloved with the grateful lips of my heart—

• listen to Jagyat Singh croon his love to Lord Krishna
• let Psalm 23 wash over me again & again, especially "He restoreth my soul"
• read Hafiz poems until staggering from his potent, God-laden words
• dance in secret, only with Him and the music
• really taste the chocolate
• bare my eyes to the sky, the earth, the ocean, my earthly beloveds
• contemplate the loving heart of Christ until my own heart beats free from the cage of bones and flesh to fly again
