“When desire is still in this pure state, the man and the woman fall in love with life, they liveeach moment reverently, consciously, always ready to celebrate the next blessing.When people feel like this, they are not in a hurry, theydo not precipitate events with unthinking actions. They know that the inevitable will happen,that what is real alwaysfinds a way of revealing itself. When the moment comes, theydo not hesitate, they do not miss an opportunity, they do not let slip a single magic moment,because they respect the importance of each second.”

It’s in that moment of pure love that decisions and action become clear.”
