‘In recognizing the interconnectedness of all embodiment, I find an intimacy within and between all of us that is not sentimental or romantic. From one point of view, this intimacy can be expressed as “We are all one.” But there is also an interconnected intimacy that is messy, uncomfortable, and difficult, but worthy and liberating to attend to. By the nature of things, we are closer than we would like to be.’ (The Way of Tenderness)
