“One cannot really know an other without intimacy. Detached, objective observations alone leave a surface upon which it is too easy to project one's own image or fantasies. In intimacy, one respectfully interacts with the other, invites the penetration of the other, enters into a common effort, and then the strange and distinct contours of self and other become more apparent.” KnowsSelfEasyCommonEffortFantasyStrangeProjectsSurfaceObjectivesObservationIntimacyInvitesDetachedPenetration Author:Deena Metzger
“Stories move in circle. They don’t move in straight lines. So it helps if you listen in circles. There are stories inside stories and stories between stories and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as finding your way home. And part of the finding is the getting lost. And when you’re lost you start to look around and to listen.” IfsWayLooksHardHelpingStoriesHomeMovingLostEasyLinesFindingsCirclesStraight LinesWay HomeGetting LostLost YouFinding Your Way Author:Deena Metzger
