The student is ready to learn and the teacher has a vested interest in the student and the subject. The friendship of intimacy is what I miss most. The knowing without words. The harmony of union. The inside jokes and playful attitudes.
Intimacy allows friendship up close.
It allows honesty without penalty. It promotes the destiny of the other. It mirrors worth in one another s eyes. It is a shower for two or a tent with one sleeping bag. Auntie was right.
