Love Needs Sex Sooner Or Later
Learning is
great joy for my tribe, because we learn what we like and share teaching with
learning with one another. Nobody pretends to be, or feels that they need to be
smarter than anyone else. Actively studying and learning more subjects than I
can list, or perhaps than you could name; it is so clear to me now the thing
that is most important to all persons is to be kind.
I came to
be a Buddhist and a monk as a way of explaining or justifying my life of
passion for the unknown in such a way that others can at least chew on, if
without understanding it any better that I do. But my base equation of love + marriage
= human reproduction by means of all the sex I have foregone but craved so
emphatically each time it was offered. Fortunately or not, my monastic resolve has
been fueled by my pathological resolve to support and be with any progeny at
least ‘through college.’
But dig;
family = reliable income by employment = an estimated 80% reduction in time available to
live in search for art. I could never reduce this equation to a life I can
support, so by removing sex and misunderstanding of money from my life’s
equation it truly began to me useful and meaningful. So I began mentoring young
women I met while wandering the night streets of Houston’s Montrose district
and 4th Ward, men too, really anyone who could articulate a problem
or a need. It was a great and an awful education; and humbling to learn of the
travails of other people’s lives, mostly people who did not have benefits of
loving parents to keep them safe, or an education and confidence to overcome
their difficulties.
