Breaking Through
There is a certain point in any situation where you break through, and once you do you have a new sense of peace. My old, old VP was top gun in the Air Force and he said as he approached the sound barrier, the plane would shake and rattle a bit, but once he broke through he said it was as smooth as sitting in a jet that wasn't moving, no resistance, no sounds, and just peace.
I invest into friendships deeply, and recently a friend and I have broken through completely. There is so much joy and peace when you can be your utterly, creepy, and awkward self around another person. No faux pretensions, no cordiality, and no filler talk. Just two people being. It is that moment where two people just know the rhythms of the other and how to balance back and forth, knowing when to say more and when the unspoken words have already been understood by not only them but in the trees casting shade above.
I would call it comfort of two people, but I think it is more understanding.
"To be known is to be loved" and I love love.

This is so true! And I have never even stop to think about that moment in a friendship before. Great job Manbeast! Grrrrrowl!! :)
That's a great description of that moment. Well said.
Indeed, to have that is to know love. Thank you for sharing =)
this is true man. that feeling of breaking through takes time but when it's there and it's sustainable, there's no other feeling in the world.
That's awesome
Def love that feeling. Although, I find that as you get older, you start to give less of a fuck and in turn, are able to settle into your true skin much more rapidly no matter who you meet.
that's what everybody needs
(:
comfortable silences.
