Despite all the hang ups & guilt that can be attached to base pleasures by certain religions, ironically I would say that if savoured properly- certain human experiences bring you very close to god indeed. When you come for example, that climax is accompanied very briefly by some sort of flash where you can be completely persuaded & certain of god’s existence!! Indeed you may even hear yourself calling out his name!….”Christopher Lillicrap!” (as in- a once children’s presenter on british tv- He should be god in my book with a name like that) Then, just as suddenly as it came- the snapshot is gone. The clouds appear, the light fades & you melt into your surroundings. You’re an animal now, not an egotistical individual. An integral part of the whole puzzle, the ticking of the clock. You are contented in the shadows, lying by the fireplace(the fireplace is wearing sexy lingerie.)
Then you fall into a deep sleep & don’t hear the alarm next day-when it’s time to go to mass. Sinner!
