When love is accompanied with deep intimacy, it raises us to the highest level of human experience. In this exalted space, we can surrender our egos, become vulnerable and know levels of joy and well-being unique among life experiences. We attain a glimpse of the rapture that can be ours. Boundaries are blurred, there are no limitations and we rejoice in union. We become one and, at the same time, both.
~ Leo Buscaglia
It’s the weekend, so I’m keeping the blog posts “short and sweet.” I came across this quote about intimacy by Leo Buscaglia, and it sounded like poetry to me. I reread at each line and let it speak to me. I invite you to do the same.
Here’s what my heart heard:
Moments of intimacy are so powerful that you feel like you’re no longer here, in this realm. When you attain that connection – pure and intense – with another heart, it’s as if you’ve ceased to be and have entered a new dimension, where everything – even the act of breathing – is experienced as if in high-definition. And, in the space that is created, there is no need for “masks,” walls, or pretenses. We are safe to be ourselves, completely transparent. We experience joy, fulfillment, and connection so profound that we two become one without losing ourselves.
That’s what my heart heard. What did yours hear?

The picture is titled “Two Bodies/One Love. How perfect is that?
Just reminds me of the feelings I experienced when I was in that zone.
🙂 Sweet memories, I’m sure! Ready to get back in the zone?
What my heart heard is “the beauty of love knows nothing but the joy of truth. Here you are free to simply BE all that you choose to BE.” Beautiful – it touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. It is what I feel inside that I always knew it would be and I am not willing to settle for less than that.
So beautiful, Diane! And you are absolutely right. There is no need to settle for anything less than you deserve! Create and be what you want to experience, and that is exactly what you will attract! 🙂
I love that quote Gladys. “We become one, and at the same time, both.” We do not lose ourselves but become deeply connected to another. Touched by and touching the soul of another.
That was my favorite part, too, Diane! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!
