Ode to Oxytocin

…To be with those I like is enough,
  To stop in company with the rest at evening is enough,
  To be surrounded by beautiful, curious, breathing, laughing flesh is enough…
  I do not ask any more delight, I swim in it as in the sea…
  All things please the soul, but these things please the soul well.
