June 8: Thoughts for the Day

Intimacy is never wrong.  It can be awkward, it can be unsettling, it can feel dangerous, it can seem out of place, but it’s never wrong.  For society’s convenience, intimacy has been neatly tucked into a single drawer that should be opened only by two people who are married to one another.  But that artificial limitation on feeling is contrary to humankind’s need for connection.  Intimacy need not be restricted, nor so restrictive.
