Honest Intimacy

Honest intimacy:

oddly, it seems it was through the recognition and experience of an absence of a true and permanent self that a more honest intimacy with myself and all the world became apparent. What appears now isn't argued against; it's an inclusive belonging to even debates of the mind. The world is just accepted and this includes my often wish to change it. Without a true and certain self - everything belongs and everything comes seamless on arrival, intimate, honest.

it seems like permission; that I've been granted the right to simply be exactly what I am through each moment, and with this I'm unafraid to contradict myself, accepting the world through all it's paradoxical wonder.  There is an ease now with struggle, a peace to my sorrow, and pureness to my joy. Nothing is denied. 

it's truly an honest intimacy.

through absence of a self; a personality appears, quirks and idiosyncrasies are known for what they offer. There is no one sure self to present an argument against another. It's all an appearance without need for dismissal, here, for however long its stay. 

and with this too comes intimacy with the world; with nothing out of place things appear seamless in their order, spontaneous to my view. It's all shared, that my own appearance is equal to every other aspect of the world. 

intimate in this belonging.
