“Somewhere Erik Erickson said that a foundational element of infant development is experiencing "the gaze of a delighted other." When we love someone, we really look at them, listen to them, delight in their presence. Similarly, whenever we really see someone, truly hear them, it is virtually impossible not to love them, if only just a little.
The deepest act of love is not help or service;
it is immediate, attentive presence.”
-Gerald May...What I Think I Know about Love
