Who Do Too Much
INTIMACY
... just a tender sense of my own inner process,
that holds something of my connection with the divine.
-- Shelley
Intimacy, like charity, begins at home. If we cannot
be intimate with ourselves, we have no one to
bring to intimacy with another person.
Intimacy with ourselves takes time. We need
time for rest, time for walks, time for quiet, and time
to tune to ourselves. We cannot completely fill up
our lives with activities and become intimate with
ourselves. Nor can we just sit quietly indefinitely
and become intimate with ourselves. We have to
have the time and energy to be our lives and to do our
lives in order to establish an intimate relationship
with ourselves.
Surprisingly, as we become intimate with our-
selves, we discover our connection with others and
with the divine. Neither is possible without
intimacy with ourselves.
INTIMACY... In/to/me/see.
It won't hurt to try it.
