Quote from Most Intimate
Most Intimate: A Zen Approach to Life’s Challenges
by Pat Enkyo O’Hara
Shambhala Publications, Boston, Massachusetts, 2014. 140 pages
I feel myself falling deeply into you.
Your breath, my breath, bringing us closer,
Skin, sound, touch rapture!
One breath, it breathes, we are briefly one.
And now, the light changes, shifts.
Two again. Look!
The moon’s waxing crescent.
You have to meet and be intimate with yourself before you can truly be intimate with another, and the way to do that is to practice Zen, or sitting meditation. . . Perhaps most of all, in terms of sexual intimacy, your willingness to explore your moment-to-moment experience offers you wisdom and compassion in this most compelling realm of human existence. (pp. 33-35)
