We have a Secret, philosopher. You’re my Secret and I’m your Secret. Tonight’s all about the Secret. We’re going to live forever in the Secret. By grace of the Pulse.
What do we share? What are we being shared by? The sharing itself – that’s the answer, philosopher. The Pulse is a sharing. It opens a space. It opens a time. That we can share.
It’s the evening’s gift to us. It’s the Pulse’s gift to us. A space outside of space, and a time outside of time. It’s intimacy’s gift. The gift of contact. We don’t have to lie anymore. We don’t have to be who we were, out there.
Who are we being shared by? God? Is that the word for it? Or the sharing itself. Friendship. Or love. Or … what?
Contact, philosopher. Isn’t that what life’s all about? I want contact.
Don’t you get tired of being yourself? I do. I’d like to be … someone else. A philosopher, for example. But it’s not just any example. Maybe I’d like to do what you do. Or what you don’t do.
We’re not who we were. Just for tonight. We’re changing each other. We’re giving each other … potential.
Just one night. That’s all it’s going to be. I don’t want to leave my husband. My … lifestyle. I have something to maintain. But for just one night, I will. I want out, for a night. For tonight.
Tonight will be forever, right? Tonight will touch eternity. Everything will revolve around tonight.
