Sex is magic, says one woman. Sex is the light that streams from the body, says another. Sex is a spark signaling that body and spirit have caught sight of each other and are straining to unite. Sex is an angel that has been posted to remind us that the gateway to heaven will always be open. Sex is a fire that melts us down until we become streams of molten gold. Sex is a power that accumulates in the body, as when a rocket gathers speed for takeoff, until it shoots into outer space, headed for worlds of amazing luminosity and radiance.
