How Deep Is Your Knowing

How deep is your knowing of any heart not your own? How vast is your knowledge of the people who share space with you? Do you know bare facts only, like things that would fill a credit report or have you bothered to dig for soul information.
Getting to know someone deep takes courage, I know. The sharing of vital things does not come cheap, asking much of both investors. Trust is needed in abundance to uncover parts hidden from the world at large, and compassion is vital to appreciating that gift of special knowledge.
I never assume I know a person well just because I know where they work, live, or play. Jobs, homes, and playgrounds change. If those were really important in the larger scheme of things when any altered the whole process would begin again. But knowing the soul of another leaves no blank spaces to refill even if all other facts change.
How well you are willing to know others depends on how well you are willing to know yourself. And that is a struggle of another kind. Practice on yourself first, then really introduce yourself to a special chosen few. Disregard all bare facts, ignore the size of bank accounts and homes, things of a worldly nature tell nothing of lasting importance about what is housed inside. But the value you place in bare facts tells a lot about who you really are deep down.
