| St-Valentine
is coming! And guess what: we have a
book for this happy occasion. |
| |
| The Avatar Syndrome by Stan I.S. Law is a subtle and intriguing mix of
psychology, love, fame, faith and futurism. It feels like a rolling,
slowly churning sea, where pieces come together and fall apart
only to meet other pieces. |

"I shall miss you," he murmured
without looking at her.
"Me too," she replied, also looking
away. A slow-moving tear began its tremulous descent down her
cheek.
"Will you write? Email?"
She didn't answer. There was something in
her throat that would not let her speak. It was true that she
was not yet of age, but she had heard about, she'd even seen
girls her age running around with boyfriends, smooching in dark
doorways, and not-so-dark nooks in the park. She was growing
up rapidly in all ways that would, and did, continue to change
her from a girl into a woman. Would he ever notice, she wondered?
Ever?
There are moments when one's heart takes over
the affairs of one's head. Peter pulled over into the Mount Royal
lookout. He then almost brutally pulled Anne into his arms and
then with contrasting gentleness touched her lips with his own.
They sat like that, speechless, barely touching each other's
lips, until finally the magnet which drew them together increased
in force and their mouths drank of each other's longing.
"I
love you, my love, I love you, always have...."

| In each Newsletter
we will publish an essay or an article by Stan Law (a.k.a. Stanislaw
Kapuscinski) with his inimitable slant towards the spiritual,
metaphysical and philosophical perception of reality, while seriously
peppered with humour. |

| Today we invite you
to read LOVE (Essay #3 from BEYOND
RELIGION vol. III) by Stanislaw Kapuscinski |

|
More has been written on the subject of this
four-letter-word than on any other subject. More nonsense has
been garnished with this apparently inexhaustible staple than
seems possible for the rampant imagination of man. Empires have
been built and lost; heroes have been elevated to Olympian heights;
gods have been conjured and murdered, as have thousands of their
followers all in the name of love. Love of what? Power? Beauty?
Prolific riches, Faustian talents, beguiling secrets of an enticing
woman?
Some say that love is the greatest power on
earth. Isn't love the very antithesis of power? Perhaps it is
the most irresistible force, rather than power.
What limits the efficacy of love is not its
own frailty but capacity of the recipient to accept it. A deaf
man cannot accept the love encapsulated in the harmonies of a
musical masterpiece; a blind man cannot appreciate the ebullience
of the old masters, or the shimmering light of the impressionist.
Nor can we experience love if we close the floodgates through
which it threatens to overwhelm us. And finally, until we realize
that love is not a feeling, an emotion, but the most irresistible
force binding the universes together, we shall never experience
true love.
