Being with You

Sometimes, when we leave someone’s company, we say, “I enjoyed being with you.” We toss it off, lightly. What if our authenticity were so complete that we actually mean, “I enjoyed BEING with you”?

That’s what I strive for—spontaneity, truthfulness, being present, being-ness—so that I can say, with each parting, “I enjoyed BEING with you.”

You write or draw it: “Being”—what is that, to you?
