Ink,

One doesn’t have to be psychic to know when someone they’re talking to has been eating garlic. 🙂 Its just that a cloudy mind “plugs the nose” so to speak. Said differently, if we see our neighbor eating apples (or giving away apples) its not difficult to know what kind of seed grew them.

I’m all for outside the box attempts at rekindling connection. The problem is sometimes when we chop at symptoms, we overlook the causes. Plus, certain actions produce dissonance in intimacy, such as manipulation. Sure, we could get a friend to tell our partner our needs for us, but that doesn’t get us any closer to authentic courage, which is what disperses the fear. For example. Namaste.

Careful with that eye rolling, I’ve heard they can get stuck that way. 🙂

With warmth,
Matt
