My thoughts: interesting word at the moment. at least for me.
It makes me think of intimacy. The notion of giving oneself without exception, and if that is truly possible...? It also makes me wonder if it is possible to truly term things in absolutes. To say one is all light, all giving, all of something... then withholding, dark, and the like within another context... makes me question the notion of giving, of initmacy.... of my own level of understanding.
Can one truly acquiesce and give of themselves wholeheartedly while still denying other parts of themselves to others? Or is both possible?
food for thought.....
