"I'm sure something can be arranged along that line," I said with a smile on my face that must have said, Good Lord! Thank you!
"Actually, it has already been arranged," answered Heather. "All you need to do is agree to it. Ross wants to spend the next few days with Sylvia. They have a leading edge project to work on. So I thought, if it is OK with you, I would happily spend those days with you, and the nights of course. Ross actually suggested it. Can you imagine that? He said something to the effect that it has become an unwritten rule on our rock by the sea, some time ago, that no one should be alone at night when an alternative to it exists, furnished by love."
"And you chose me for that?" I asked. "Wow, what a rapture! What a joy!"
"Do you think that this is what Tony's speech will likely address?" she asked.
I nodded. "I think it will. It has to. It seems as if the whole of humanity has been divided over this issue, and isolated. People can't even look at another person of the opposite sex without feeling guilty about it, and causing the other person to feel violated. That's what Tony's speech will likely be all about. If sex has become so convoluted that it upsets the whole social structure, it stands to reason that it needs to be uplifted to the point that it no longer stands as a barrier, but comes to light as a unifying element. I think our CSB celebration is proof that this can be done. I think Tony's speech will also upset the old marriage doctrine and get people to think a bit more about their universal marriage to one-another as human beings, and their wonderful divine quality of generosity. After all, what is a life for if one can't live it as a human being? Have we been given this life in the world to enrich one-another's existence and the world around us? It certainly hasn't been given to us to make each other miserable. I think our humanity is reflected in building and in creating an ever-richer world for one-another. The sexual aspect has a role to play in that, and it will play that role the more we lift sex above the common role of it being merely a pleasure, to it becoming a joy."
