Inside Wat Appalava, Chiang Mai

I sense my love is here. Speak beloved and do not find me strange… for though our bodies be close, my mind has journeyed to a distant place.

Kevin, I do think it’s time for you to come back to the hotel now. You must be starving…

Sweet one, I  have transcended time, desire, hunger and all other appetites. I have drifted to a place of serene tranquility where timid, beautiful creatures come out of the thick forest to sip at the  mirror-calm pool that is my mind.

But Kevin, you’ve been here since yesterday lunchtime. Even the monks are grinning at each other when they look at you. You must be needing the toilet by now!

…….. er…….  actually, I ………… I think I may have soiled my loincloth…
