The most precious and most essential experiences in my life have been what is happening between me and you. I do not exist except in the context of my relationships.
Relationships. You know yourself in the flow of your relationships. Words, ideas, messages and conversations describe the shape and energy of relationships. Agreements, commitments,
shared intentions, and expectations express the ongoing adventure of relationships. Honesty, trust, love and understanding are some of the qualities that you feel in good relationships. Relationships are about sharing: shared enthusiasm, shared purpose, shared consciousness.
And let's admit it, in relationships we are confronted with our limitations, our fears, our delusions, and the parts of ourselves we have never faced. Relationships can be terrifying, frustrating, a challenge to our sense of who we are. A classroom in which you learn about yourself, if you are honest.
Relationships are the great mystery. Who am I and who are you, and what are we doing here? What are we trying to do together? How are we connected, and how are we separate? Where do you begin and where do I end? A mystery, a great miracle, that in the depths of our aloneness we find each other. A mystery and a great learning adventure, how do we get past our fears and our egos, so that we may truly communicate and express the exquiste mystery of our love.
