giving an inch, taking a mile

30.11.2025

S: You know, there’s only one rule in love when you first meet someone.

A: What’s that?

S: When they give an inch, take a mile.

A: I think that needs a little elaboration.

S: If they let you hold their hand, caress it. If they let you put your hand somewhere, go for other places. Take a risk.

A: And what is the philosophy of the dance?

S: A pioneer explores. He is in uncharted territory. He has to be intrepid. The way that we explore the body of another is the way that we explore an undiscovered continent.

A: An explorer of the body? And the map?

S: The map is love. And the body is love. The lover is love. And the beloved is love.

A: The whole journey is love?

S: Can there be any objection? While no one knows what love is, there are many things that are love. And I myself, I am love.
