Who in your life are you most open with?

Anyone whom exudes that sense of unconditional curiousity. They can be complete strangers, even, but there's this unmistakable presence of non-judgmentality that I pick up right away. In their presence, you feel you have the right to be you (you do anyhow, yet they acknowledge that).

Their heart is open to receive you -- just as you are. They want to know you at your quintessence, rather  than have you bend to any contorted image - theirs or society's.

That said, specifically my friends in New Orleans tend to be that way. I wish I could say that was truer generally as a whole - and I start off with the assumption in a new setting or new group or new accquaintence that being real is valued - but it's not quite true yet.

I imagine a time shortly when the "circle" we feel safe being ourselves within and being open will stretch to the whole galaxy.
