"... There are thousands of winesthat can take over our minds.
Don't think all ecstaciesare the same! ...
... Drink from the presence of saints,not from those other jars.
Every object, every being,is a jar full of delight.
Be a conoisseur,and taste with caution.
Any wine will get you high.Judge like a king, and choose the purest,
the ones unadulterated with fear,or some urgency about "what's needed."
Drink the wine that moves youas a camel moves when it's been untied,
and is just ambling about."
