[Spoken: Alan Watts]

What is the content of love?

Look, basically, love is something we can't put our finger on at all We say, we use such words as warmth, um, tenderness

Uh, all these things, they don't really get to the point

When you're, you're loving somebody you are simply delighting in that person, as such

As if another human organism in its mental and its physical aspects were a piece of music, or a work of art, or a glorious morning

And you go over another person's physical form, and look at it from every possible point of view- and play with it

And uh, that's what it's about. It's the adoration of the form of a human being

And you do, you do that adoring- in terms of physical contacts, that are, say dancing with your fingers across the skin or whatever it may be

This is the nitty gritty, the nub of love- one wants something much more than that

You want to be played with

That's more like it

[Instrumental Bridge]

What is the content of love? It's a sort of it, part of it, it's incidental

It's a way of saying very strongly, yes I do want to be with you

But, basically, love is something we can't put our finger on at all

[Outro: Detective Charles]

This is Detective Charles checking in

Looks like we have a victim on the ground, gunshot wound to the head

Uh, looks like there's some type of, it's like, it's a recorder

A tape recorder or something

Gonna have to listen to this
