Hi CL, glad to hear you've been gaining some insight from The Dance of Intimacy. I was surprised to see you're also going to be reading 'Hold Me Tight'. That was one of the first books my IC recommended I read and I thought it was excellent as well.

Amen to that. I agree. I think it's the ultimate form, and the one where most of us falter. Which is sad because I think it can bring us more intimacy than any other thing we do.

I admire your tenacity and courage in the work you're doing. Take care. FMV.


I cannot complain for not receiving from others, that which I've never asked them for.
