Yes it does sound like the therepeutic relationhip, dioesn't it?

Although separateness is very real, there is also connectedness. Separateness makes us each inidividual, 'selfs', unique... yet connectedness means we all seek similar things like love and acceptance.

Another author who writes about similar things is Pema Chodron. "When Things Fall Apart" and "The Wisdonm of No Escape" are a couple that I have and enjoy. She writes in a calm peaceful and thoughtful way. It's very relaxing to read her words.

You can find her on Amazon or at www.shambhala.com
