Intimacy, as I am using it, is sharing my reality with you.
What happens is that people who are very religious but who are not in touch with reality, cannot be spiritual.
I am six feet tall. I am not supposed to be afraid.
A forest is mystery but the desert is truth. Life pared to the bone.
My only hope to receive love is to let you see who I am, then I may believe you.
If God is in a life, it doesn't have to be big to be happy and to be important in His kingdom.
