The queen addresses the king, who is standing with his back turned to her. When he turns around to face her, his face is blank. The same thing happens when she reaches out to the princess. The queen sees herself in a mirror and cannot see herself clearly. She is confused and beside herself.
''Once upon a time, there was a contactless woman who did not know who she was interacting with.''
The notion of contact
Contact is a connection between at least two poles – a sender and a receiver. Contact is experienced inside you and may pertain to something or someone within or outside yourself. Good contact occurs in the absence of ‘noise’, that is, when the connection is not disturbed or disrupted by any internal or external factors.
Inviting contact means showing interest in an open and receptive way, where our defences are down.
Good contact is a condition for good quality. That is true in our relationship with ourselves, in relation to others, in our efforts to achieve a goal and in our quest to create something new.
