I'm learning more about this. Apparently I can open up other people too. It takes a lot of work and communication, it doesn't feel the same to both people and, for me, at least, it takes sex. But doesn't everything?
It is a gift because I don't gain that much from it except for a sense of accomplishment and joy in the gift I have given. I've already got a connection to the world.
The person I helped open up more had meditation training and experience, so it may take some readiness in that area. I don't know if it's related, but I'm really enjoying encouraging people to take chances and be more themselves. My sweetie on a walker did a strip tease completely to the skin at a club party using her walker as a prop. The audience loved it and she felt empowered.
Another friend has been invited to go to the state capital and speak before Congress. I'm encouraging her to do it and trying to arrange to be there as (im)moral support. Life is fun.
Last check my foot was doing better, but I don't want to look again. I'm on several new drugs for my arterial problems, but too soon to know if they are helping.
3 housemates now, all want to help improve the place. This could work out well :)
