intimacy

Intimacy..."into me I see"...Wow, that really woke me up!  Could I find love by looking into myself?    

True intimacy is a human constant. People of all types find it equally hard to achieve, equally precious to hold. Age, education, social status, make little difference here; even genius does not presuppose the talent to reveal one's self completely and completely absorb one's self in another personality. Intimacy is to love what concentration is to work: a simultaneous drawing together to attention and release of energy.

The most intimate question we can ask, and the one that has the most spiritual power, is this: What or who am I?

Communication leads to community, that is, understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.

If you want to end your suffering enter your pain.

The value of the personal relationship to all things is that it creates intimacy... and intimacy creates understanding... and understanding creates love.

Weath is a measure of the degree to which we are willing to share intimacy with our world.

At least embarrasement is not an imitation.
It is intimacy for beginners....

Many find it strange for a person to spend their life studying human happiness and intimacy.  I find it strange for anyone not to.

Chance and destiny are not adequate concepts for explaining karma. It's really a dance, isn't it!--a dance of sisters and brothers who come together by mysterious likeness and attraction. Their dances in turn come together with all the dances across the world. For some this can be joyless, even the dance of exploitation and murder, but for the Bodhisattva it is the great cotillion of intimacy.
