We Could’ve Had A Great Date if it Weren’t For You
The Hole
THE HOLE is a fable that dares to go where no fable has gone before….
Into the depths of our emptiness and nothingness where we fear that life is meaningless.
It is clearly a place that is largely unknown to many of us and thus exposes us to our
greatest fears, especially during times of great loss. Yet without a willingness to go
through this door, we are destined to live in constant turmoil as we ride on an endless
emotional roller coaster. Dirk and Dawn, to all appearances a perfect couple, certainly
never wanted to go there. However, when confronted with an empty, bottomless hole
in their home, they had no choice but to face all the dilemmas it presented them. You will
be amused at all of the solutions that they attempt to use to fill the hole, many of which
you will identify as choices you have made in your own life. With the help of a wise little
man, who understands the nature of empty holes, you will experience their ongoing
struggles in a continuously challenging dialogue with him that will appear at times humorous
and transforming. If you can move through this journey with them and come to totally
accept your own emptiness, you will discover a love, passion, and power that will serve
as a guide for the rest of your life.

It offers you a new way to look at yourself and your partner so that you can move beyond the places where you are stuck. Is Your Relationship Stuck in the Difference Game? All intimate relationships that are painful, chaotic, or stuck have one thing in common: the partners involved focus on their differences to prove that “one of us is better than the other.” To protect themselves from the fear and vulnerability of greater intimacy, they sacrifice their love, passion, and closeness.
