Clare Horner Aphorisms 1

As I noted last time, I admit Horner was a misogynist and a homophobe, although an apparently successful marriage slightly reduced the former. Don’t Trudge on the Fudge was written just before he died. As I expected, I found his form as an aphorist was good to the end.

 “I don’t know what I am, but I’m glad I got to be one.”

---
There is a place of total bliss and complete knowing,
enclosing all the universe I’ll ever have the sense to see,
and a dollop more.
It is in the center of you and shines for me,
as I actively rest there
in the ecstasy of my place of special welcome.
---
Honest love makes sense. (If it doesn’t, it isn’t.)
---
A marriage license doesn’t make you more married than a birth certificate makes you more born.
---
Nothing turns me on like sanity.
---
Like anything living, love requires nourishment.
---
When My Heart Tells
When my heart tells you
it loves you with all my body,
don’t you doubt it.
My mind oversees the whole thing,
and it knows.
---
Life is a billion-dollar computer jammed by a dead bug.
---
The whole phriggin mess is absolutely silly. The only reason we don’t usually notice is because it keeps us so damn busy.
---
Sing: “She has the kind of kisses I’ll live for.”
---
You may get confirmation from some of your own sex, but fulfillment comes from the other one.
---
People should remain together only if their changes continue to justify it.
---
How nice that no one can lose me, since one can’t lose what one doesn’t own.

FOR MY FRIEND
I’d like to put everything I have
In or around anything you have
In order to say that
whyever
whatever
whenever
wherever
however
or whoever you are
I’d just like to be there.
