## Metadata - Author: [[Robert Rosenbaum and Sojun Mel Weitsman]] - Full Title: Walking the Way - Category: #books ## Highlights - No matter what you do—stay back or go ahead—all your actions have consequences for yourself and others. These consequences are both far-reaching and short-lived. They are short-lived because something else will quickly follow. They are far-reaching because they form a link in an endless chain. This is particularly true when we are at our most vulnerable: when our love is intermixed with need. At such times it may feel if you reveal yourself fully you’ll open yourself to hurts you cannot bear, but if you hide yourself you’ll never receive the embrace you need. Acceptance and rejection are strong tides in our lives, and their ebb and rise influences the flow of sex and love.
