To love is to approach each other center to center.
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
I just love this quote. It sounds so simple, but has such complexities.
In loving, there's a certain sharing of the inmost being, not all at once, but by degrees, and the safety in which to unfold each other to each other.
The most vulnerable part of the body is the center, so to meet each other center to center is to make oneself vulnerable to the other.
And maybe even to become centered in each other.
Some Native Americans, maybe all, speak of the middle ground, a place in which we center ourselves, in perfect balance, in the middle of North, South, East, West, Above, Below. We are centered there.
In love.
