Today we honor Eros and let us not forget to tip our hats to Dionysus , for he too has his part in these matters. I really like the simple naive tales we've been reading because I believe in this stuff. I don't know if it was too much T.V., too many fairy tales, folktales, cartoons, or Motown music growing up but I believe in love; improbable possibilities, dreams, happy endings, chastity, and desire. The whole sappy mess. My happy ending will be the day that Eros fixes his arrow upon me.
An interpretation of the myth of Eros and Psyche is to trust in love. Psych did not trust her heart or her lover and she let herself be swayed by her sisters. She betrayed her lover and lost him.
Since today we celebrate Eros I invite you all to trust in love. For those of you that Eros has found, praise him and his gift. For those of you that he has not found, praise him and fear not, he is on his way.
