“With Valentine’s Day approaching, put aside those chocolate roses and stuffed winged bears holding heart-tipped arrows and sit down with your friends or your lover and talk about your desires. Dim the lights, listen to Wagner’s “Tristan and Isolde,” especially Isolde’s last aria, and enjoy a decadent tipple and a scrumptious nibble.

Consider the importance of following your desires, for repressing them does you no good. Following your desire is a brave way of recognizing that something is happening to you, something remarkable. Perhaps it will break open your world, or perhaps it will simply open your heart. Things will change. But change is what must happen to desire for love to find a home.”
