The goal of union between one person and another is creation.
Sexuality is our great power of creation. Union between a man and a woman is sexual, and therefore creatively powerful – and yet, the soul delights most in union that creates beyond sex; creation through sharing, combining intelligence and birthing intelligence – sharing in children of the flesh and the mind.
Love will unify, and the unity most pleasurable will bear fruits – in art, in community, in science and intelligence.
A unifying love of body and soul – that is the pleasure of sex that lasts all of one’s life. Laughter and sorrows, the elated orgasm of living together with those we love… Laughter the climax, and sorrow the rest.
