I find Jesus my confidant and companion, brother and savior; our relationship is intimate, vulnerable, demanding yet comfortable and reassuring.

I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

Also, I walk and hike in several different nearby parks near our home several early mornings a week.

You're my hero, my savior, my best friend. You are my brother.

Big Brother is watching... look busy.

Real answers need to be found in dialogue and interaction and, yes, our shared human condition. This means being open to one another instead of simply fighting to maintain a prescribed position.
