Restless
Eros, born out of the Cosmic Egg laid by Night, was given Soul by the blowing about of the life-giving winds. Restless and melancholy is the soul; restless and melancholy for communion consecrated to Eternity.

The secret
For the dead are thirsty and in urgent need of water... And they drink a certain measure of the water of Forgetfulness, whereupon they are reborn without Memory.
The secret, then, is to live each moment in remembrance of Death. I raise this cup to my lips and taste the fragrant, bittersweet brew with consummate mindfulness.
