Sacred Romance

But wait, I said. How do I know that if I go with you, I will be okay, and I'll function and I'll survive?

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what kind of life you are surviving? Have you thought about the kind of journey I am asking you to take with me? Would you really rather stay here in the land of the dying and call it life?

No, no, no, you just found me at a low point. I had best go back to where I knew what to do. Thanks for saving me, but now that I'm saved, I think I best go back.

And so I did, and now I look for you, but all I can find are your eyes in the sky, on certain days, under certain conditions, and while they do not reproach me, they seem to miss me as much as I miss you.

Now at the dawn of the 21st century, the Goddess rises up to resurrect the deadened soul of modern consciousness. Romance is one her wombs, as breathing life into a destroyed beloved is very much her speciality. There is an eternal temple dance, a romantic ballet deux of hearts, where day after day, night after night, in every corner of the world, Osiris longs to receive new life and Isis longs to give it. In the middle of war, in the midst of suffering, on our marriage beds and even on our death beds, we reach for each other and say, "I love you very much."

This is so much more than sex on vacation, a night to remember, or a power struggle between romantic partners. Sacred romance is a call of the soul, a bid for life in spite of it all. It is nothing less than an assignment from God. "I have chosen someone to heal you, and I have chosen someone for you to heal. Enter the temple and expose your wounds. Be not afraid. My Spirit will heal both of you. Together you shall receive new life."

Come down, you said, to the river with me. I want to bathe you in what I know.

And then you will never cry again. You will see where your dreams are only dreams, and we will visit together the land of the awake. I will give you a diamond to wear on your heart, and it will shine in you forever. Throughout the ages, they will know of you that you lifted me up when I was dead, and thought my death an unalterable state. You breathed new life into my mind, for only you were sane enough to think that it was possible. In return I gave my heart to you, and behold, we both now live.

From this point forward there is a new horizon. If any man or any woman sink below the line, if they cannot breath or cannot reach, they will only have to call our names. And the power of our love will reach to them. We will lift them up and make them one, as you and I are one this night. Cling to me, as I cling to you. Together we will glue together the pieces of the errant world.

Forever we will live like this. Forever we will live...
