"Don't you think, the essence of living is freedom?!"  He asked as if were asking himself by staring at the peaceful dark sea of night.

 

"You mean a wanderer forever!?" She asked while making some random lines on the sand with her finger.

 

"No! I'm not talking about leaving homes, wandering as nomads, spitting outrages, or dancing naked on roads! That may be utilized as a path of freedom but can not be the ultimate freedom. The freedom I'm talking about is powerful intoxication! Kinda intoxication which stretches each vein and cell of the blood so immensely that your entire existence starts absorbing the ecstasy of living. The absorption gets stronger and stronger, and even stronger until it breaks all the delusions that were once compelled to be accepted as reality."

 

He paused with a deep sigh and continued with a stronger voice, "I want to try that intoxication again and again until I get wilder, wilder enough to be a rebel. To rebel against all the boxes of illusionary reality, to rebel against the labels, to rebel against the heavy identifications, to rebel against all inner chaos to free myself from old karmic patterns. So that I can clear out all my paths towards that intense connection with each grail of the universe by each grail of my existence. In order to discover my naked dancing soul!" He paused with a smile as if it were the last thing he wanted to say ever.

 

The girl was calmly gazing into his sparkling enlightened eyes. She smiled agreeably as if she has already experienced such intoxication, as if she could say more about this journey.

 

The man was observing how effortlessly his breathing was getting in sync with the waves of ocen as if they were part of his own body and existence! He was calmly waiting for her response about her experiences of enlightenment and looked at her fingers making random figures on the sand. She stopped drawing on the sand and started gazing at the ocean as if reading some book!

 

She asked, "Do you see the waves at the shore? Wild enough isn't it?!" The man agreed with eyes without speaking.

 

She continued, "The waves at the shore are like those intoxications, powerful and wild enough but it's not all! It's insane! It's unsteady! And more importantly not really too deep. The deeper you go into the sea the steadier it becomes. Only a few can explore the ocean up to the ultimate depth. Some might never dare while some might be lost forever." She paused.

 

They both were staring at the sea mysteriously. She continued with a deeper and more steady gaze at the ocean, "But if one can dare to explore as deeper as possible would keep finding the magical beauty of the universe! The ecstasy of living that you could achieve only at the saturated point of your intoxication now would be a state! A certain depth where the ecstasy is not a stimulated endpoint anymore, but is a state where you can stay! The state of ecstasy, which is far more powerful than rebellious intoxications, which is beyond insanity, and yet heavenly steady." Her smile was divine! he could literally see that 'state' of blissfulness in her eyes, in her smile, in her heart, maybe in her entire existence!

 

"You are beyond ordinary!" He said slowly as if admitting for the first time he found something like her. The compliment did not change her smile or expression. He learned that she achieved a powerful state where she no longer need to rebel against anything and yet can be heavenly untouched, pure, and calm.

 

He said looking at her without hesitation, "You are so intense that I'm spiritually aroused!"

 

"How the word 'aroused' came to your mind with spirituality?!" She laughed.

 

"No, my brain is using it precisely, it's we as an ordinary habit limiting the meaning of 'aroused' with sexuality, same as limiting the word 'craving' with food. I could have used the word 'awakened' but using the word 'aroused' feels more appropriate and justifying I don't know why." he explained.

 

The girl laughed at him surprisingly and agreed with eyes she never thought like this before. He's been in situations where he feels equally aroused physically, but never been in a situation where he is equally aroused spiritually! And he can say by looking at the girl's surprising smile that she too has never been in the same situation.

 

She continued with immense energy of each drop of her blood, "Existential crisis and starvation would always be part of mankind, Humanity could have always been survived without being deeply spiritual, No doubt intelligence is always there in revolution, Salvation is only within, But never knew that the ecstasy of living can also be the journey of one's depth to the other's together!" She was trembling as if she was speaking for the last time to the last person who exists. Tears dropped from her eyes with joy, bliss, and serenity with satisfaction as if it were all she could have said.

 

The man was stunned by her intense aura and the vibes she created with the highest energy. They both cried as if they were floating together somewhere on God's planet!
