Intimacy - Season of Disclosure

Inspired by "Spiritual Intimacy" by Alice Smith...

Springtime. The beginnings of intmacy. Nothing quite captivates the Season of Disclosure quite as well as the surprise birthday party that C prepared for B. Time spent in preparation is one thing. But the minute thought going into every fine detail is the other. From the figurine on top of the cake, to the dinner plate matching the dinner tablecloth vs. appetizer plate matching the appetizer tablecloth, to C's insistance of not letting anyone help her with anything. That is definitely the epitome of the early stage or honeymoon stage of Intimacy.

In most romantic relationships - this is the sweetest time of the courtship. The other party is flawless during this stage. The couple almost refuses to move beyond this stage because the world as they know it is standing still. Nothing that you or your significant other can do will cause you to get into a fight. But of course, that first fight is inevitable. And it's making up from that first fight that will lead you into the next season... Summer time... the Season of Passion.

I am most honored to have been a witness of that display of affection. Happy Birthday B!!
