Acceptance of ourselves and others just as we are. Appreciation of all our gifts, our limits, our longings, and our poignant human predicament. Affection shown through holding and touching in respectful ways. Allowing life and love to be just as they are, with all their ecstasy and ache, without trying to take control. When deeply understood and applied, these five simple concepts—what Richo calls the five A's—form the basis of mature love. They help us to move away from judgment, fear, and blame to a position of openness, compassion, and realism about life and relationships. By giving and receiving these five A's, relationships become deeper and more meaningful, and they become a ground for personal transformation.]]> 186080 4.08 281 80 2002 0 2009-06-12T01:02:37-07:00 876746 33 2009-06-12T01:02:37-07:00 0 2009-06-10T13:49:46-07:00 870191 15 2009-06-10T13:49:46-07:00 3 0 false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 10 13:49:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 20 13:20:42 -0700 2009
