HI Adrial, Thank you for your truth. I too had this funny feeling about your name Dale. It didn't sit well with me. We are going through these deeper and deeper stages of unraveling and discovering our lies which reveal the deepest truths of who we are. It's a process I am thankful for and frankly herpes is forcing me to do this work. I think we become real out of necessity, not necessarily because we always want to. It's edgy and scary. But breaking those chains one by one feels better than any of us can even express. Annie Dillard says it well. I read this quote many years ago and it still shares its power with me. Thank you Adrial (beautiful name), Beth "In the deeps are the violence and terror of which psychology has warned us. But if you ride these monsters deeper down, if you drop with them farther over the world's rim, you find what our sciences cannot locate or name, the substrate, the ocean or matrix or ether which buoys the rest, which gives goodness its power for good, and evil its power for evil, the unified field: our complex and inexplicable caring for another, and for our life together here. This is given. It is not learned." - Annie Dillard, Teaching a Stone to Talk
