The Passion of Christ

For many years, there has been a group of people that I, Ramón the Mink of Love, do not understand. The Religious Right, these dogmatic zealots, they continue to stifle the ways of Love. This is something that I am not comprehending.

I am a mink of an open mind. I seek to Love all, and never to be judging my brothers and sisters. And so, when I heard of these people who were standing so unflinchingly in the path of Desire, I sought them out to try to fathom their ways, and perhaps to be bringing more Passion to their lives. Indeed, I was hearing of the Passion of Christ, and was thinking that any who worship such a Tempestuous deity could not be the tiresome masochists of whom I had heard. I went to their church, I listened to their sermon. The minister, he spoke of Love and Forgiveness. Surely these are things with which a mink of my Disposition can find accord.

And so after the service I went to be offering to the minister my sleek and beautiful body. His response, it was not kind. He proclaimed me a sinner, and said that I would be burning for all eternity for my actions. I responded then that I had already burned for an eon for his Penetrating discourse. He changed an exquisite shade of red, and demanded that I be leaving this holy ground. I was not understanding this. How could I, Ramón the Mink of Love, be doing anything but appreciating all creatures which the Creator has put upon this earth? And yet, I left. I felt I could be doing nothing more there.

Every time since then, when I have been encountering one of these God-fearing folk, I have tried to understand their ways, to help them to be understanding mine. Every time, I have been receiving another discourse on the virtues of a chaste, upright life, of the worth of monogamy. To think that I, Ramón the Mink of Love, would ever share my Desire with just a single woman, it is preposterous! Why sip from the teacup, when I can be drinking from the ocean! Why nibble the cookie, when I can be devouring the stars? It makes me ask myself, perhaps these people fear more than just the God. Perhaps they are fearing the Love as well.

And yet these people, they wish to control the lives of each one of us. How can one be wishing to dominate others like this? We must be joining together to show them the error of their ways, to demonstrate to them the Passion of Life! I ask you now, as a Lover and a friend, to be offering yourself to these people of autumn spirit! Their lifeblood has been drained and their souls have died, but together we can help to resurrect them! Let us be bringing them back to the springtime of their youths! Let us be showing them the flame that blazes within their breasts! Go to them as you were created, unclothed and engorged with the fullness of Being. Only then shall we turn them from their ways, and help them to see the Vibrance that they so dearly need. Go to them, my friends! Go to them, and help them to see the Light!
