Relating isn’t something we do. It is our nature. It is the expression of our interconnected nature. It doesn’t necessarily imply talking verbally, which is actually only a fraction of what relating proposes as a creative impulse.

 

Relating is the space that is created when two beings meet. It is the ripples created by the creative movement of welcoming another being in us, and being welcomed in another being. It is the invisible space in between. It is the silence that doesn’t need to speak words to be heard, it is the presence that fills our heart when we feel ourselves.

Relating doesn’t need our doing. It’s not performative. It’s not something that happens. Relating simply is. It is the movement of life experiencing itself. Diving into our relating nature is a movement of vulnerable opening, of surrender, of claiming who we truly are.

 

Vulnerability isn’t something we do. Isn’t something we can, or have to be. We are vulnerable by nature. Embodying our vulnerability as human beings allows us to bring honesty and realness to the quality of our relating space. It is allowing us to meet beyond the masks and prefabricated ideas of who we think we are.
