August, 1944: Exchanging Treasures

"You cannot learn, love, or create by stealing. You have to create yourself first, and your work, and then bonds are born of this, genuine ones, and people exchange their treasures. You can't force things," Anais explains to a friend.

Building intimacy, making a meaningful connection with another human being works like this. You have to be willing to go deeper, to be intimate, to be vulnerable and share some truth about yourself with another. After you have opened up, the other person will be more willing to open up, and the exchange of treasures is enabled.

All of us have inside ourselves a multitude of hidden treasures - hopes, dreams, wishes, desires - that we long to share with others. Do you have someone with whom you can exchange your buried treasures?
