1 " Have you ever lost yourself in a kiss? I mean pure psychedelic inebriation.

A kiss that confirms that the universe is aligned, that the world's greatest resource is love, and maybe even that God is a woman. With or without a belief in God, all kisses are metaphors decipherable by allocations of time, circumstance, and understanding "
