I heard this on CSI the other day:
'A relationship that doesn't move forward, withers.'
..................................................................................................................
The lifeblood of a relationship is 'the immediacy of the moment'.
But sometimes the immediacy of the moment is too 'risk-taking'...perhaps taking our partner too close to our inner Essence...with unknown reactions to follow: acceptance; rejection; fear; anger; rage; alienation; abandonment...anything and everything is possible...does sharing the intimacy of a risky moment take us deeper into the relationship or does one of us choose to bail out...having let down to much of our outer Wall...
To risk or not to risk; to share or not to share -- these are the choices which can decide whether a relationship goes deeper into each partner's respective Inner Core; or starts to dry up and wither away into non-relevance, alienation, impasse, non contact, psychological and/or physical abandonment...
Each and everyone has to decide how much we want to hang onto our Outer Wall...
And each and everyone has to decide the speed at which we move deeper into our Inner Core...
If at all...
To share or not to share, that is the question.
