SSJE: Knowing and Being Known

Agatha Nolen February 25, 2018

Today’s Question: How does it feel to be known by another?

To be really known doesn’t happen often. I have to expose myself and be vulnerable, revealing deep dark secrets that I normally would rather hide. I can’t be defensive in sharing, but rather open. At first there is some caution, wondering if the confidence will be kept. After a period of testing, the relationship broadens so that two people really know each other and respect and honor likes and dislikes not because they want to please the other person, but because they are in a deep spiritual friendship that honors each person as an individual.

I realize that a fault of mine is thinking that I have been misunderstood. I have a strong desire to be known and accepted for who I am today and the history that I have lived.

Please enter the discussion: How does it feel to be known by another?

Blessings, my friend,
Agatha
