It is a grief-drenched hatching of two hearts into some ecstatic never-before-seen bird whose new uncategorizable form, unrecognized by the status quo, gives the slip to Death's sure rational deal. For love is a delicious and always messy extension of life that unfrantically outgrows mortality's rigid insistence on precise and efficient definition. Having all the answers means you haven't really ecstatically kissed or lived, thereby declaring the world defined and already finished. Loving all the questions on the other hand is a vitality that makes any length of life worth living. Loving doesn't mean you know all the notes and that you have to play all the notes, it just means you have to play the few notes you have long and beautifully. Like the sight of a truly beautiful young woman, smooth and gliding, melting hearts at even a distant glimpse, that no words, no matter how capable, can truly describe; a woman whose beauty is only really known by those who take a perch on the vista of time to watch the years of life speak out their long ornate sentences of grooves as they slowly stretch into her smoothness, wrinkling her as she glides struggling, decade by decade, her gait mitigated by a long trail of heavy loads, joys, losses, and suffering whose joint-aching years of traveling into a mastery of her own artistry of living, becomes even more than beauty something about which though we are even now no more capable of addressing than before, our admiration as original Earth-loving human beings should nonetheless never remain silent. And for that beauty we should never sing about, but only sing directly to it. Straightforward, cold, and inornate description in the presence of such living evidence of the flowering speech of the Holy in the Seed would be death of both the beauty and the speaker. Even if we always fail when we speak, we must be willing to fail magnificently, for even an eloquent failure, if in the service of life, feeds the Divine. Is it not a magical thing, this life, when just a little ash, cinder, and unclear water can arrange themselves into a beautiful old woman who sways, lifts, kisses, loves, sickens, argues, loses, bears up under it all, and, wrinkling, still lives under all that and yet feeds the Holy in Nature by just the way she moves barefoot down a path? If we can find the hearts, tongues, and brightness of our original souls, broken or not, then no matter from what mess we might have sprung today, we would be like those old-time speakers of life; every one of us would have it in our nature to feel obligated by such true living beauty as to know we have to say something in its presence if only for our utter feeling of awe. For, finally learning to approach something respectfully with love, slowly with the courtesy of an ornate indirectness, not describing what we see but praising the magnificence of her half-smiles of grief and persistent radiance rolling up from the weight-bearing thumping of her fine, well-oiled dusty old feet shuffling toward the dawn reeds at the edge of her part of the lake to fetch a head-balanced little clay jar of water to cook the family breakfast, we would know why the powerful Father Sun himself hurries to get his daily glimpse of her, only rising early because she does.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Martin Prechtel" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/martin-prechtel/after-all-a-kiss-between-real-lovers-is-not-some-type-of-contract-a/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5b4/martin-prechtel-45389_admiration_after-all-a-kiss-between-real-lovers-is_3124896.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5b4/martin-prechtel-45389_admiration_after-all-a-kiss-between-real-lovers-is_3124896.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/5b4/martin-prechtel-45389_admiration_after-all-a-kiss-between-real-lovers-is_3124896.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“After all, a kiss between real lovers is not some type of contract, a neatly defined moment of pleasure…” — Martin Prechtel", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/moment-of-pleasure/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/moment-of-pleasure/", "name": "Moment Of Pleasure Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/moment-of-pleasure/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/cdd/louisa-thomsen-brits-4007_community_because-interiority-focuses-on-the-insid_621756.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 5 Moment Of Pleasure quotes by 5 authors.
