What happened to intimacy?

Somewhere along the way, people confused sex with intimacy. Intimacy is a lot more about emotional nakedness than the physical act.

I was in a very public place Saturday with Lisa - we were sitting at a table talking when I decided to take a brief moment to be emotionally transparent. I was talking with her about the death of my Dad and in the middle of the plaza, I started to cry.

Yes... I said it... I cried.

Anyway, she scooted her chair close to mine, put her arm around me and said... "It's okay... no one is paying attention..."

It was sweet.

It's really good.

Being in a relationship where there can be emotional transparency it's a good thing. A very good thing...
