[Tango-L] Define: Tango Moment.. from Hafiz...

[David Hodgson]

Now this was worth posting and giving my opinion of the dance of Tango.


A Barroom View of Love

I would not want all my words
To parade around this world
In pretty costumes,

So I will tell you something
Of the Barroom view of Love.

Love is grabbing hold of the Great Lion's mane
And wrestling and rolling deep into Existence

While the Beloved gets rough
And begins to maul you alive.

True Love, my dear,
Is putting an ironclad grip upon

The soft, swollen balls
Of a Divine Rogue Elephant

And
Not having the good fortune to Die!
--Hafiz

Hey Tine,

Since so many of us replied to your query, could you report back to us 
what your psychologist friend thinks of it all? I, for one, would love 
to know if we come off as a bunch of cretins.

You know, in the eyes of a professional.

Thanks,

is as in, ohmigod I had a such tango moment with that guy! Or, I don't know
if the milonga was any good or the music or the food, all I know is I had a
tango moment that was totally worth the 3-hour drive. Or, ................

This was hard to do!
