Maybe sometimes, in a way, it's also ok that we project and anthropomorphize. Maybe these processes are also about opening ourselves to learning, and not just processes of sustaining a myopic, egoistic, closed worldview. Maybe our fantasies about others are actually very often an unfolding somewhere in between what we know and what we don't know, and along the way in our journey we get to keep deepening our self-witness of our developing ideas about relationships. Where in your life have you found an unlikely teacher about relationships?
