how many degrees of separation?...

(Again, while this doesn’t speak to dreams directly, it is the direct result of working with my dreams that opens me to these parts of myself...the “both/and”)
How many degrees of separation?
There is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away from any other person in the world...only six degrees separate us from each other. 
How many degrees separate my mind from my heart?
How many degrees do I have to step towards my heart before... 
...pain becomes love?
...fear becomes curiosity?
...jealousy becomes desire?
...knowing becomes not knowing?
...ignorance becomes awareness?
...shame becomes healed?
...pride becomes humility?
...dissociated becomes feeling?
...individuality becomes connection?
...closed becomes open?
...numbness becomes vulnerability?
...alienation becomes belonging?
...not needing becomes yearning?
...false joy becomes joy?
...caretaking becomes compassion?
...impatience becomes trust?
...judgment becomes understanding?
...arrogance becomes confidence?
...unworthy becomes worthy?
