"This is one of the marks of a truly safe person:
they are comfortable."
Henry Cloud
The man was comfortable with himself, giving off vibes of acceptance, compassion, and connection. These qualities allow the visitor to be her or his self without fear of judgment. One wasn't distracted by guessing what the man wanted to hear or what he might be evaluating. He was willing to allow the guest to be present in his or her own way.
Our intuition signals us when we are engaged in conversation and suddenly feel like we should stop and say no more. We look into the other face searching for clues as to how to proceed. Confining our conversation robs us from a full experience of sharing our thoughts. We minimize are sharing to be safe.
It can be challening to enter into conversation with a stranger, and yet it is an opportunity to discover new perceptions or experiences. It is through conversation which we expand impressions of our earth visit. When we can be comfortable with our lovely selves, other will react in like manner.
