SensualThe word "sensual" is not intended to bring to mind quivering dusky maidens or priapic black studs. I refer to something much simpler and much less fanciful. To be sensual, is to respect and rejoice in the force of life, of life itself, and to be present in all that one does, from the effort of loving to the breaking of bread.

Take up the White Man’s burden—Ye dare not stoop to less—Nor call too loud on FreedomTo cloak your weariness;By all ye cry or whisper,By all ye leave or do,The silent, sullen peoplesShall weigh your Gods and you. —Kipling.
