It's amazing how well you know me. This Incomplete video was one I saw and wanted to post... but you know when you're trying to communicate a message, I can't use everything I love (I love so much!). I have to pick and select just the most concise media to express a message. This one was my #2 video when I was making a post about the Power of Dance 
You do that a lot. You pick things I would've picked myself. It's almost magical I suppose you and I are what happens when two nerds find another. A magical unison of spirit, science, and technology. For me, it has been a unique and enjoyable experience to recognize that opposing fields of science can become seamlessly intimate. It's inspirational to imagine what's possible.
Attaining intimacy is easy. You've already done it. Intimacy can occur between ideas, people, environments. People share intimacy with one another through kinship, but particularly kindness. I aim to build intimacy by being kind when I could be cruel. From an outside perspective, my actions have been seen as cruel, at times, but malice has never been my intent. Choosing to heal instead of hurt has been how I build intimacy. Hearing the things that go unsaid happens when I listen with my heart instead of my mind. The key has always been to trust in love. In the fullest expressions of love, the key to the universe unfolds.
The concept of love has been reduced to primitive desires and bonds--true love is allowing the self to be mesmerized by all life; by both angels and devils; by embracing cruelty to the same extent as we embrace compassion--to understand that everything came from somewhere and there's a reason for the way everything has become what it is now. When we turn back the dials of time to understand the origins of a person, environment, or idea we come to understand them with a sort of foundational intimacy. Foundational intimacy is unconditional love--and as we understand the journey that turned an angel into a devil, we feel compassion for that brutality the angel suffered to become a devil.
When I hold a space for someone I remember that child--that angel--and I hold that. Even as the devil turns my flesh into a river of blood, the strength I draw is from their other side, their angel. I don't fight for me, I fight for them. For the angel within the devils.
That is how I build intimacy.
Yes, I can be a savage--and have been. The strongest of souls have never been doormats. When we have something worthwhile to protect, we shield it to ensure it survives.
