to do anything but that? [Laughs] I mean, it's not all I do all day<br />

long, but when I have the occasion to do it, it's just the most<br />

wonderful thing. And people are very amenable; they're dying for<br />

this.<br />

TRIP: I don't really have a question here for you, but I'm going to<br />

go into a subject area that you could share, but you have a<br />

wonderful relationship <strong>with</strong> your husband, Peter.<br />

JAN FRAZIER: Yes, my partner.<br />

TRIP: It's a very sexual juicy relationship, and you don't shy away,<br />

you don't have a graphic book here or whatever, but you don't shy<br />

away from what a beautiful, wonderful, touchy-feely, warm,<br />

sensual relationship you have <strong>with</strong> him, and how at times the two<br />

of you just completely disappear and merge as one. I don't know,<br />

spiritual life is apart from the physical, from pleasure, or<br />

from just a regular human life. I don't think they're at odds at all. I<br />

mean, love between partners does have a physical expression and,<br />

everything else we do as people; hunger, physical activity, dance,<br />

sex, sleep, sickness, everything we do is some form, expression,<br />

manifestation, of the larger reality. And so there's a dance that<br />

takes place between any two people that are in any kind of a<br />

relationship, but including the one between lovers, that of course<br />

it's going to have physical stuff in it too. And when love is in the<br />

picture, when there's a very deep love in the picture, and even for<br />

just one of the people if love no longer has attachment or the need<br />

to make anything be different from what it is, then it's the most<br />
