Nice. I'd like to hear how you applied it, if you're into sharing.

No problem at all, my friend.

Our friend Josh calls that "remembralizing." Word comes in handy for times like this. :)

glad to help!

Mmm. SO true.

You probably get a lot of this.

(Nice to see you around here for once. :)

I like these thoughts. What about the part of connection that involves exposing yourself? I have experienced connection (the very true, terrifying type) seldom but when I have, it has always been the result of me dropping my guard and letting some secret part of myself out for someone else to see. You can separate yourself and distance yourself all you want but if the other doesn't expose, you will simply be . . . separate. This is why I feel there must be a balance between separation and . . . hmmm, connection? No, between separation and joinder. You must enter, give and nurture for connection to exist. At the same time you must maintain your individual self, know it and see where it ends and the other begins. Perhaps that is connection and separation simultaneously. I think Kahlil Gibran makes it very clear when he says on Marriage

What you're talking about is vulnerability. It's a different piece of the puzzle than what I'm talking about here. No less important, but simply different; perhaps the next step to be taken once the actual human opposite you has been seen. Being vulnerable to an illusion seems counter-productive. Being vulnerable to the Grand Illusion, however, isn't.

It's a good book, The Prophet. thanks for reminding me.
