the challenge of relationships

"The Challenge Of Relationships"

Relationships naturally bring out into full view our desires,
attachments and unconscious programs – our likes, dislikes, belief systems,
judgments, compulsions, conformities, etc. Relationships challenge us
because they take us deep into thoughts, feelings and experiences we have
suppressed for a lifetime. That’s why they provide the very best arena
for personal growth!

“Human relationships are the perfect tool for sanding away our rough
edges and getting at the core of divinity within us.”-- Eknath Easwaran

I survived the intimacy panel...we had to talk about how and why we got
married, and what we thought about it.  i'm not so good at talking in front of people anyhow,
but i think i did alright.
i still think it's totally amazing that i'm married sometimes.  and that i enjoy it.  never thought
of myself as the marrying type.  but it makes sense in a weird way, and i'm pretty
okay with the way things have turned out thus far.  life's funny.  you never know.
