Romance
Romance is the call of the vague that pulls you toward itself. It is vague because the life we are living is not yet a concrete affair in itself as such. Still its energy keeps exerting its attraction on its estranged counterpart that we on earth are. The estranged parts (the energy and the individual human body) tend to become one. There is a perpetual and perennial tension between the two of them working as a stretched spring taking the two ends so obscured that they have lost sight of each other. But the tension sustains. And then another tension is generated but this time in a 180 degree opposite direction (the opposite sexed human body), again taking the two ends so obscured that they have lost sight of each other.
But the two generated tensions can and do see each other on the periphery of the circle, on which they sit diametrically opposite at two points. Only the center just goes out of sight of the both!  Both see each other, and also feel a pull in that direction, which in fact is the pull of the center and not of each other! But we feel it is each other only. And thus do the opposite sexes get attracted toward each other! We tend to come toward the center in order to come toward each other. The energies get enhanced, and the bodies go taut. A taut body can keep more energy in it, and the more energy it keeps the more it feels relaxed. A relaxing stretch does the same to the body. A taut body is a stretched body. It also kicks the mind out of the body temporarily. So the brain stands still for a while. We stop existing as an individual for a few moments. The center starts giving a joyful glimpse of it. But our body cannot keep it for long. Just out of habit! The habit throws it up all out; and the body, to the periphery again! We immediately come back to our tense, energy less state on the periphery - away from the center - center again obscured from the sight!
We tend to have an attraction toward the opposite sex sitting at the other end of the diameter on the periphery of the circle. The circle is the circle of human existence. The center is the source of energy from which various circles are going on forming and extending in size like the expanding waves in the deep still waters stirred by the slightest excitation into it. The waves do have a tendency to stand still ultimately. That is what the joy of romance is. It tends to take us to our own center though we feel it is the other we are getting pulled to. A thing of beauty becomes a joy for ever! To both, in its domain!
Its partners start looking beautiful to each other. It is this only that our definition of beauty on earth is. So, quite naturally, life without romance is bound to go dull! The most important thing is how close to the center does our romance has the quality in it to take us. Now, what is the quality of it? The quality lies in getting attracted to the pull of beauty without ever trying to either win it or own it.
The spirit of romance is the spirit of playing the game of attraction without ever winning or losing it. When possession is there, it dies its immediate death. We are immediately thrown back onto our periphery, of which the shock turns us a scared wo/man. No more do we easily dare tend to respond to the call of the center impinging onto our psyche every single moment on earth! We start stealing sight from the moment to moment beauty of life in the ultimate insecurity of romance with it! We turn businessmen seeking shelter in the safety and security of money. We start wanting to win the world and lose a dime not!  I propose opening yourself up enough to be ready to fall in romance with everything you find beautiful on earth. Falling asks for owning the beauty NOT! It only asks to play with it. Not to win it, but to enjoy playing with it! Like a child does - with each and everything around on earth! It is our curiosity that makes us play and enjoy the beauty of the game. Keep your curiosity alive. For each and every person on earth, including the opposite sex that makes the 50% of the whole world population! Of course, there is a danger of crossing your limits. But that is what the game is! Play it well and fall in it not. The moment you fall, the game goes dead. But that doesn't mean that you will avoid playing such a beautiful game as existence has designed for you to enjoy life on earth! Do you feel things should change in life, on earth? If yes, why sit passive? Let's be in the active vanguard. Let's try to change the world! Even trying is its own fun in itself! Have A Naughty Story To Tell About Your Tingling Romance?
A story lived by you!
