subtle and detailed observations into the intricate process of self awareness through the observation of the other as he/relates to us, which -wonder of all wonders are at the same time flowing and sensual as well! <P>
In psychlogy you describe this kind of learning within the "object theory", as the most basic way of relating to others - initially our parents. They serve as the measering sticks and the building blocks to the creation of the "self" in each of us. <P>
How quickly we forget how critical we are for each other (especially our loved ones)- with regard of the way we figure out who WE are, way after becoming adults. We remain dependent on each others so much more than we care to admit.
