Ruminations - Part 5

Intimacy is a four syllable word for, "Here's my heart and soul, please grind them into hamburger, and enjoy." It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without.I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. And as for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something you have to define for yourself.

Intimacy is one of the few actions that say more about the other person than about your own self. Its about trust and hence depends on how trustworthy the other person is or projects him/her self to be. If its the latter case, a hamburger's certainly on its way. But if its not, the most precious pearl in the ocean awaits you...
