I have this theory about therapy, that it's really just about becoming safe enough to feel everything that we've learned to cut ourselves off from feeling. That so much of our life is experienced from a strangled, constricted place that we think it's "normal" to half-live until we get a full, deep exhale and can look at someone eye-to-eye who is (hopefully) just as present and open as we are in that moment, and in that one precious moment of clear seeing one another things adjust: we recognize we no longer to need to conceal parts of ourselves. We become more willing to be unraveled in the process of life instead of needing to be put together. That's what intimacy is about, to me. It's being willing to feel everything and be in the curiosness of oneself and the other. Of course we also have to do taxes and drive our cars, also worthwhile endeavors, but those experiences of full-hearted emotionality are connection with the spirit world, me thinks.And that's why courting our exquisitely beautiful, broken hearts is so worth it to me: to meet the ultimate form of truth (love! god! the universe! the mystery) in ourselves and each other through those moment of divinely vulnerable meeting.
