The Vulnerability of Love and Intimacy
Love and intimacy are rooted in the acceptance of vulnerability and the realization that satisfaction is not the essence of love. Love goes beyond satisfaction and includes elements of loss and suffering. Intimacy involves sharing vulnerabilities and walking together in a world full of uncertainties. It's about caring for each other and being cared for, rather than seeking control or seeking to give to avoid receiving care. True intimacy is about honesty, courage, being known, and letting oneself be cared for, sharing in vulnerabilities, and supporting each other through losses and uncertainties.
