EXTREME iNtErAcTiVe intimacy

extreme:
"the highest degree"

Sounds exhausting.
Too much commitment.
Not enough time.
Too high maintenance.

interactive:
"to act on each other"

Sounds a bit excessive to me.
Sounds more than a bit invasive .
Definitely sounds uncomfortable.
Something to be avoided.
Personal space anyone...anyone?

intimate:
"most private and personal; deep and thorough"

You've got to be kidding right?
As if.
Not in a million.
Not going there.

The highest degree of action between you and another
where it is most private and personal...
deep and thorough.

Afraid?
Yet?

WHY???????

Vulnerable.
Unguarded.
Exposed.
Naked.
KNOWN.

Fear.....f E a R..... F E A R.....
gut wrenching..vomit inducing...
migraine producing...immobilizing..incapacitating
DEADLY
fear

Run.
As far as you can.
You will always arrive back here.
Why?
For this you were born.
For this you were made.

this is LIFE...
LIFE is this...

To KNOW and be KNOWN

You are known.... believe it.... hold fast to that truth...
You are known....and LOVED in spite of all the knowledge...or... because of it....

Enter.
Engage.
Interact. Extremely. Intimately.

Live.

Iyihyih! I don't know how to spell that. Good grief! I like personal space, thank you very much. I really don't like this. But its really good writing. I just really don't want to think about this. I'm going to ignore this for as long as possible. Thanks a lot.
