Intimacy is about growing more than you could by yourself, through the art of mutual gifting. - David Deida

It is not time that kills delight, but familiarity, neutralization, and lack of purpose.

Every moment waited is a moment wasted, and each wasted moment degrades your clarity of purpose.

A happy woman is a woman relaxed in her body and heart: powerful, unpredictable, deep, potentially wild and destructive, or calm and serene, but always full of life, surrendered to and moved by the great force of her oceanic heart. When you ask her to analyze her heart’s emotions, it’s like building walls around a part of the ocean and turning it into a swimming pool. It’s safer and more predictable, but far less alive and enlivening. Most men have made their women into swimming pools by continually treating them like men, talking with them about their feelings as if they can be analyzed to the point of “fixing” them.
