Claude Cruz

I’ve recently been wondering about why I’ve had such an intense longstanding interest in deep human connections, even in childhood.  While many of my peers seemed to be focused on sports, or having adventures, or running in popular social circles, I was drawn to the exploration and understanding of intimacy.  Why?

We’ve previously explored the three realms in which human connection plays out:  the physical, mental and emotional planes (with the latter including spiritual experiences).  In this episode, we’ll consider the very special role filled by intimate relationships.
