The Liturgy of the Open Palm - A Dawn Meditation on Cosmic Exchange

Image
      The hour when the night has not yet departed, and the day is but a pale, bluish promise along the edge of the horizon, always carries a sense of naked truth. I sit in the silence of this early room, as the first rays of sunlight pierce the glass like thin, luminous fingers, and I think about touch. About those completely mundane, almost automatic gestures we exchange out of habit, never suspecting that within them lies encoded the entire metaphysics of our existence. We say: Give me five . We say it with ease, with a smile, sometimes in passing, while rushing somewhere, locked within our own tiny, isolated worlds. But what does this truly represent, if we strip away the layer of daily banality? What happens in that microsecond when two palms meet in the air and press against each other? This is a merging .

The intersection point

 People of any gender can be intimidated or threatened by someone who they perceive as strong, confident, or assertive, regardless of the person's gender.

However, some women may be intimidated by strong men because they challenge traditional gender roles and expectations, which can be a threat to their sense of safety and power. For example, a strong, dominant man may make some women feel as though their opinions and decisions are not valued or heard.

It's important to note that this is a social and cultural issue, and not a universal truth or a trait inherent to all women. Many women respect and admire strong men and find their confidence and strength to be attractive and inspiring.

As with strong women, a man being strong doesn't necessarily mean he's aggressive or overbearing. Strength can take many forms, including emotional intelligence, assertiveness, and the ability to overcome challenges and adversity. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to determine their own definition of strength and what they find attractive in a partner or friend.

The intersection point where both strong men and strong women may be seen as intimidating or threatening to others is likely rooted in societal expectations and cultural norms around gender roles and power dynamics. When someone challenges these norms and defies traditional expectations, they may be perceived as a threat to the status quo, and this can lead to fear or intimidation.
