THE PATH OF INTIMACY
This ever unfolding path
Is the way of intimacy
Not intimacy with another
But intimacy with life itself
To get right up close with life
To touch and feel and breathe life
As one would do a lover
For this life IS our lover
The world is our greatest love
And we may reject that love
When we don’t like it
Or it seems to hurt us
But the true measure of love
Is to be intimate
Even when it hurts
Or draws us to our vulnerability
Intimacy IS vulnerability
And love demands that from us.
