Type of Spiritual Experience
Background
A description of the experience
Exhausted with gay pleasures, I embrace my lover.
The narrow path of asceticism is not for me:
My mind runs in the opposite direction.
It is easy to be glib about Zen -- I’ll just keep my mouth shut
And rely on love play all the day long.
