"Inasmuch as I am human I have needs / Which although long denied are destined to be / Pieces of my puzzle of thoughts words and deeds"
Transcendental Sonnet #1331: How Spirit Can Soar When Flesh is Not Wasted
The ideal of transcendence beckons me To rise above the petty and commonday Actions and distractions of humanity Yet I ought not must not cannot turn away From my brothers and sisters of humankind
Denying my flesh is not good for my mind Inasmuch as I am human I have needs Which although long denied are destined to be Pieces of my puzzle of thoughts words and deeds
A being not only of spirit am I Nor is it natural for my flesh to die Unfulfilled without ever having tasted What it is like to be in love and to see How spirit can soar when flesh is not wasted
