Oneness through Intimacy in Many Forms

Intimacy.
Intimacy in all it's forms.
Intimacy with all it's combinations of participants.
Intimacy is something that we love and thrive in, a loving expression of Oneness.
Intimacy is also something about which we sometimes feel fear. Sometimes we initiate intimacy from a place of fear, and somehow it comes out wrong. Then we just pull ourselves back to a place of love, and keep on going. I had the opportunity to do that today. From honestly expressing in most intimate terms, came realizations about myself and others, forgiveness of things long past, and growth. Hopefully i have caused nothing of discord, hopefully i have created openness and oneness. Hopefully, we have been an intimately connected fabric of humanity.

Lots and lots of wonderful, positive instances of intimacy happened today!
Today my two intents around intimacy were to pet a dog and find lots of what i call 'platonic intimacy'.
Well, intimacy found me, and i created a bunch. The intimate encounters - the Onenesses - of the day showed me intimacy in a rainbow of different forms. Got to do a favor for my new neighbor, had a deep, deep hearted conversation with a friend, heard workman stories from a dude, and all kinds of stuff. Got to puppy-sit a lonely little guy tied up outside a store, too.
The main thing I learned today, though, was that I love a lot of people, and a lot of people love me. Each of these loves is unique and perfect in itself. There is no one-or-another of it. Sure, each of us shares this or that facet of ourselves with that or this friend, and perhaps not with many other friends. Yet we each share real, deep, honest, wholesome love with a lot of people.
oh yeah... and i introduced my best friend Doyle to a way awesome lady i met recently, and they got along real good. way real good, in fact. = )

May i invite you to follow along in a guided daydream?

Imagine someone you love. Someone you feel comfortable with. Someone you like to hug.
Imagine your are hugging them. A big, cuddly, warm hug.
They are hugging you, too. All snugly nice.

Imagine someone else who you love, who you feel comfy with, and who you like to hug.
Imagine you are hugging them. A big, cuddly, warm hug.

Now, imagine that in hugging the second person, you are hugging the first also. Somehow there is an empathic link between all three of you, and somehow you are all three hugging, in what feels like a single one-on-one hug together.
Now, imagine there are four, or maybe five people hugging in this big, cuddly, comfy hug. Everyone adding their love, their oneness to the hug.
Feel the love that is there. Feel the empathic connection.. the love coming through.
As each person feels love, it is shared empathically by everyone in the group. So each person in the group feels sooooo much love! They feel very, very loved indeed. So they, in turn, love more! Their renewed love goes out to the others. More love is poured into the group through the empathic connection, the oneness.
Feel the intense love that is building! Feel the love each cuddly huggy person is feeling, adding, resonating...
Feel the Intimacy of Oneness
