Sharing Vulnerability

One of the hardest things to do is to share our inner feelings with another person.  Many different fears fill our minds: rejection, repulsion, humiliation, anger, or, worst of all, apathy.  In reality, though, sharing feelings is an act of vulnerability that opens up our heart and soul to another person, and nearly always results in that person opening their heart and soul in return.  Affirming another person’s deepest feelings has the same profound effect. The connections thereby formed are strong and endearing; our mutual burdens become much lighter.  As a result, our journeys and relationships become  richer and more joyful.
