EROS....

“Eros does not exist!”So exclaimed a colleague of mine last night over dinner. I was shocked. She is a beautiful, intelligent, and passionate fashionista with a cause… who has access to many of life’s gifts and who probably holds the key to many men’s hearts—how could she say that Eros does not exist??She was seconded by another workmate of mine—a great poet, playwright, filmmaker, and creative genius who, in the pursuit of his One Muse here on Earth, has awoken all the other muses of the heavens and has probably swept them off their wings and into the harem of his mind.I was shattered. How could my friends—these amazingly talented and passionate individuals—no longer believe in magic, in passion, in destiny, in all these wonderful things that make love maddening yet sobering, that make life chaotic yet serene? How could they turn their backs on the madness and embrace a life that is staid, bland, and… dead?
