“Uncharted”
“Unlike most lovers, whose erotic trips, like those of trains, feature well-marked stops and certain destinations, they had no idea where they were headed or what sights, sounds, and touches they would encounter on the way. They made love as adventurous vacationers travel, stopping at points of interest for as long as they wished, discovering fascination in places off the main highway, and wandering till lost in hinterlands uncharted by the guidebooks. Both of them moved oblivious to time. It did not exist for them. They played and danced together completely free of the constraints of that invention of straight-line thinkers. Since time did not exist, they could afford to linger, lavishing attention on the minutest touches, the softest kisses, and the most meaningful caresses. They did not, like Blake, see a world in a grain of sand, but, rather, found a boundless cosmos in an eyelid or the lobule of an ear. Their bodies were extensions of their souls, and their souls had expanded to the boundless stretch of Infinite Awareness.”
