Relationships are an opportune place to experience and explore the mysteries of the soul and of love and therefore, of Life. Relationship can be a vessel in which the interplay of people’s souls in parenting, loving, living creates a special environment for the soul to be revealed, observed, lived everyday. One of the barriers to revealing the soul is that we fear (there is nothing to fear) what our partner, friend, sister will think if we reveal to such depths- especially the darkness, vitality, weirdness that is the soul. We must be vulnerable and create our own safety for Dialogue.

There is a Field 
Vulnerability is the feeling of risk, potential of danger, precipitating in fear and dowsing relationship’s sparks. What if I am rejected? Could this change a relationship for the worse, even if I am intending for the better? How can I not be judged, even if quietly? These could happen . . . . yet, there is something else that happens all the time when we are not vulnerable, transparent, open . . . . we are not seen for who we are, how we contribute, what we value. “To be [seen], or not to be [seen] . . . that is the [actual] question” . . . . a decision that teeters on the edge of Dialogue, hums with Life, a dare to Live.

Vulnerable comes from a word meaning “to wound.” When I am vulnerable, I share my wounds and my weirdness as well as opening myself to being wounded yet again. Yet my particular wounds and my peculiar weirdness is what is most “me.” I must be prepared to be wounded or misunderstood or ignored and be OK with it- to be myself, to connect with others, to open myself to life, to feel the thrill of being alive.
