......... no matter what I do, people consider me to be religious.
I don't want that handle.
With some people it is a bad image to start with.
With some it is a major disadvantage to building a relationship.

In a relationship authenticity is needed.
In a relationship there is a process of two people learning about each others strengths - and more importantly - each others weaknesses and darker side.
I can only know as much of myself as I have courage to confide in you.
A relationship is nor built on strengths but on weaknesses.
If we fail to let down our masks, we will fail to be real to other humans and, more importantly, to ourselves.

If there is an image that stops people getting close - it is tough - it hurts..
It depends on the missioner human to treat the other with as much value as their beloved.
Seeing the person beyond the behaviour is vital.
Seeing the bhp hiding behind the front is crucial.
Especially with those with special needs and 'behavioural problems'(we all have).

It is a bit like the puppets.
If we get taken in by seeing the puppets perform and not clock that really there is a human manipulating the puppet ............... maybe we are a child or fantasy land.

If we get caught up with the ventriloquists dummy and not clock the human behind the behaviour - who is the dummy?

If we see the behaviour as the person rather than the persons unique beauty - hiding frightened behind the behavour - hmmm.
Problem is - we can get hooked by the behaviour - upset, hurt, threatened, comforted, drugged ................ and more and we can fail to live our life as an act of love.

I am pouring this out on then back of emotions as a result of seeing and feeling disturbed humans. Humans in pain.
You may not have this in your life but other kinds of interactions to which, in which, we fail to love.


who's dream are you?


Will you keep on kissing frogs?

........... and enjoying Princes ............................
