Ecstasy V Disenchantment

Do you sense a difference between ecstasy and enchantment? Ecstasy draws me out of my ego, my body my mind my autonomous autumnal consciousness, winter isolated awareness. And enchantment? Enchantment draws me in. More of a seduction, maybe even curious invitation. Ecstasy sounds louder, bolder, short-term climatic and requires loss of ego-centered monopoly games While enchantment may include promise of all that bluster and outsidedness yet adds the longer sunlight summer before and after relationship of seduced out fascinated hypnotically co-empathic internal root induction, promising integrity's path of quieter seduction, restoring internal becomings with external belongings Yet to magically climatically mythically appear on life's Yang ecstatic Yin enchanting horizon of newborn politically green spring. There's political disengagement Then personal wedding Then ego/ecopolitical re-engagement of every spring through winter nutritional rites of passage.
