Connection

I ask you, what’s more important than true connection? With it, we have the ability to cultivate a life with weight and girth. A beautifully robust life. Foster healthy relationships built upon trust, respect, kindness, and honesty, but only when we allow the most vulnerable selves to be seen. Open ourselves completely to the energy of another and give and receive without judgment. Trust and feel safe. Connection can be that which gets you through the rough patches, the difficult conversations and lift you up on days you feel less than yourself. Connection strengthens us. It makes us feel valued. Heard. Connection can also heal. Remind us we aren’t alone; there is nothing more powerful than when someone hears the song inside you.

“When we know ourselves to be connected to all others, acting compassionately is simply the natural thing to do.”

It is a modern irony that we live in a society that has so many ways to connect, so many ways to reach out and yet we rarely put forth the effort to build connections. We talk, post, blog and say nothing. Unfortunately, we’ve become increasingly more insular and cut off. Cyber recluses. Connections take effort. They take time. Connections are investments and need to be nurtured.

“Real relationships are the product of time spent, which is why so many of us have so few of them.”

Many things, you’ll discover in time, can be short-lived. Physical attraction, money and success, and the boxes and boxes of stuff we buy to fill our misunderstood needs. Connection can transcend all that. If you find someone that gets you; listens to your heart, your fears, your everything. Someone you can drop your armor with. Be you with. Sees your worth. Someone who shares with you a mental and even spiritual connection. Someone who stirs your soul and inspires you. That is when you will see the greatness of connection. That is when you’ll know true intimacy.

So beautifully written about "Connection"! I totally agree with you about trust, honesty, kindness and mutual respect. I also think "connection" is a foundation of a good, long lasting relationship along with trust, honesty, kindness and mutual respect.

Thanks for sharing your views

Lovely piece. It does take time and effort. It is an investment in something so valuable. Why we don't patience and faith to do it, I don't know. Even when we peak out from our cyber recluses, facing first obstacles, we simply withdraw. We fear intimacy. Of being vulnerable. Of connection.

Considering how our psyches are pried and torn by media constant bombardment of mixed messages encouraging expressing our respective individualty and identity while maintaing our social integrity and connection and observing diversity, it is pretty challenging to make such a deep connection. But then again, being able to achieve this type of connection with another human being nowadays makes it the more amazing, sublime and special.

totally agree with this. especially the last paragraph. and if she's cool with letting you read a book on her naked ass that's all part of the connection!
