Bonobo Loving Bliss
Apart so long,
returning to Harbin,
and the soft,
autumn rains
fall again
Where are you?
Into the pools,
free again, in the warmth,
but with little cuddling
in the pools,
this eve.
Loving bliss,
Bonobo poetry
is about intimacy
and sexuality,
and remarkable
bodymind neurochemistry,
all lyrical and luminous.
Harbin is as close
as we come
in human understanding,
in my experience,
to Bonobo life,
where the milieu
is great,
and with
the potential for
so much wondrous,
open intimacy.
Yet Harbin's humans
seem somehow restrained today -
despite people being freer here,
emerging from the 1960s and '70s.
Perhaps its the times
and the age?
So why not Bonobo life?
Four to five hours ~
possibly -
of intimacy a day -
with loving bliss?
All is possible :)
What do
primatologists say?
And Bonobo life
with empathy, delight,
sympathy, centered caring,
tenderness, sensitivity,
ineffable ecstasy,
incredibly positive -
potentially lifelong -
feelings of connectedness,
sublimity, kindness,
love in the air,
gentleness,
an understanding of developing,
mutual otherness,
friendship,
mirthful, playful freedom in mind, words and gestures,
thoughtfulness, dating,
cuddling/physical intimacy/sensuality (1-2 hours per day),
making love (intimate and warm)~coitus,
a delightful, “glowing” party,
ongoing smile ~
sincere and charming affection ~
“flow” experiences (see Csikszentmihalyi)
with a community / network across generations,
openness, generosity,
coming closely in tune with good friends,
fulsome trust,
anticipatory, beneficial surprises,
sweetness, nurture,
receptivity {to love}, sharing,
hail gladdening love,
non-harming, altruistic engagement,
acts of kindness ~ voluntarism,
considerateness, cordiality,
congeniality, collegiality,
flourishing (viz. eudaimonia),
warm, radiant fun,
sociable, flirtatious,
and gleeful inner and outer movement,
which some people experience while dancing,
having a ball with you,
euphoric merriment,
cherishing as well as feeling / being cherished,
(love-related) passion,
the numinous,
old friends,
an unburdened feeling of lightness of being,
falling in love,
the fun of raising / being with kids,
cheeriness, positive psychology,
following your bliss,
well-received, intense, salutary interest,
the deep, inward release
which comes in remarkable /
easing moments
and which is cultivatable,
deeply exuberant, beneficent pleasure with another ~ a partner ~ a love,
best friends, understanding,
reverie, friendliness,
what gives you joy?,
imagination to love profoundly
and then to love,
wholesomeness, well-being,
peace, peace of mind,
and at peace-ness,
being in love, ahimsa {non-harming},
a good connection,
virtue, esp. of transcendent,
jubilant love, helpfulness,
doing good, loving touch
(e.g. a gentle hand, hugs, massage, Watsu*Waterdance {Wassertanz} & more),
singing "I love you,"
the inspiration for the creation of great,
loving art,
rich, bountiful inventiveness / imagination in amity,
Harbin Hot Springs,
heart consciousness,
harmony,
the neurochemistry of romantic
love~heightened levels of four neurotrophins, -
i.e. NGF, BDNF, NT-3, and NT-4,
loving bliss ~
*MMmmm ~ loving bliss and practices for this*~
(naturally, and with many qualities,
but ecstasy is a reference experience ~>
oxytocins~dopamine~seratonin, endorphins),
practicing loving bliss vis-à-vis a musical instrument,
balance,
wonderful, oceanic wholeness,
free love, happiness, contentment,
the joy / rapport / 'reading' of minds that goes on between two (or more) skillful musicians / listeners, who are improvising,
love letters, harmony love fests,
love is the answer,
loving bliss as friends,
the thought, experience, and generation of love,
quiet wisdom ~ love of wisdom,
and sophisticated, intuitive caritas.
To elicit loving bliss
neurochemistry is indeed
a process yet
unexplored fully.
Possible but how?
Music as metaphor
offers a rich beginning.
And iwth openness and trust?
Like Bonobo
musical instruments?
Yes. :)
