The Value of Intimacy in Relationships and with Yourself
Intimacy is a rooted word. Roots meaning the depth of the encounter runs deep, away from the surface. Intimacy involves the whole person, not just the emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual person separately, but an encounter with all these that the whole person is. You don’t need another to be intimate. That is, you do not need another to not be lonely if you have intimacy with yourself.
