why better than chocolate cake

There are too many things in this life that go unrecognized or unqualified. We slip by them. I too am guilty of this.

Chocolate cake is not the best thing… it might not even make it to the top ten on my list… but for many it is, so it is a starting point.

Today, a short entry.

Today, what is better than chocolate cake:

Getting caught in a memory… I mean the kind that snatch your breath, make your heart pound more deeply, and make your stomach twist to your thighs. For instance, the memory of the light that diffuses through the window onto your lover’s naked form. The landscape of the bedclothes. The smell of sunheat. The dizzying swirl of dust motes as you lounge together in the warmth. No words; breath and heartbeat. The ease of your skin against theirs.

And then gone.

Which was more thrilling: the memory or the experience?
