Authentic Relationships Are Difficult To Establish For They Require Us To Suffer With The Other, To Embrace

Authentic relationships are difficult to establish for they require us to suffer with the other, to embrace the experience of the other, to learn the language of the other, to come together in that common sacred space. Most would avoid the suffering, most would prefer the superficial. And if through life one is able to create but one authentic relationship they have accomplished an amazing and rare thing.
