“What is love?”, the Seeker asks the Guru, a gnarled and nut-brown personage of indeterminate gender. Inscrutably unperturbed the Nut-brown adusts zer ragged loincloth from which wafts the scent of wild meadow-blooms in full rot.

“But Mastress,” says the Seeker, “surely I am not the First Person to seek to avoid singularity? One-ness is great, for sure, but it does get a bit lonely, being one with the All, and all that. Of course, no price is too high to pay for the realization of ones true nature. Butt I need to know the meaning of that for which I seek. I need to know the nature of that for which I seek. I need to know the purpose of Love.”
“You need to know... you need to know...” says the Gnarly One.
“Yes Mastress, I need to know.”
“Love means putting your self last,” says the Guru. “This dialogue, therefore, in which you place your need to know above my need for you to shut the fuck up… is not a dialogue of love but of fear.”
"A trillion abasements, Mastress, my sorrow knows no bounds," wails the Seeker disappointedly, "but how then may I learn this lesson?"
"Slowly, it would seem, and with great difficulty," says the Guru facetiously. "But tomorrow may or may not be another day. You call yourself a Seeker, don’t you? You could seek a seagull named Jonathan, but what that would achieve is anyone’s guess.
“Right now though, what I want you to do is fix me a bowl of rice. I grow muchly tired of fish heads....”
