The Alabaster Girl
A book about women, and about the men who love them.
From the book
Beauty needs a witness.
A man who loves women is loved by women. This is a law of the universe.
All of the greatest stories of history involve journey. This is because every journey is, in essence, a journey into oneself, into the soul.
We have forgotten how to have fun. We unlearn fun. Every interaction with women should be infused with fun. This includes the way we meet, the way we date, the way we are together in bed, and the way we are together in relationship. If it isn't fun, what's the point? If it isn't fun, it needs to be left behind. Because... why not? We are treasure hunters, adventurers, raconteurs, are we not?
Thoreau wrote, "the mass of men live lives of quiet desperation." This is as true today as it was back then. How many men stand on a balcony and wonder what happened?... He wanted adventure and he got two weeks' vacation. He wanted a mission and he got a lawn that needs mowing. He wanted purpose and he got a cubicle. He wanted a mighty steed and he got a minivan. He wanted a castle and he got a mortgage. He wanted a battle to fight and he got televised sports. He wanted wisdom and he got talking heads on TV. He wanted treasure and he got endless debt. He wanted every part of his life to be wonderful, and here he is... standing on a balcony, in bleak, ruminating hesitation.
I could tell you the truth about me... but to seduce you, I will tell you the truth about you...
Highly poetic, sharp, and engaging. It is easy to fall into the rabbit hole of the narrator's musings, part poem and part half-remembered dreams. An ode to a deep appreciation of women, and to the dance of the masculine and feminine as old as time.
San Francisco Book ReviewA richly compelling, beautifully poetic journey into the heart of relationships. An astonishingly insightful guide to the paradoxes of love. Best relished in small sips, allowing time for its many moments to weave themselves into your own tapestry of self-discovery.
