Leisurely Pleasures

Leisure: Like retirement, a feeling achieved through patient paths of health and safety. Pleasure: A similar feeling achieved through polypaths of healthiest wealth and risky win/win opportunities, more actively curious than passively patient. Resiliently resonant, leisurely pleasured sensory awareness we can no more be with the same person, in the same place, at the same time, twice Than we can re-enter the same river twice. Baptismal pleasure is less about one time immersion than full time rapture.
