A quote that offers one account of the intertwining of bodies:
The other is my mirror in the sense that it is through the other's bodiy that I am aware of my differences through the tilt of the other's head, the touch of the other's hand, the look in the others eye. But the same mirror confuses my body and the other's: by mimesis and transitivism I tilt my head, touch my hand, and look at myself and cannot easily telll the difference between what I live and what the other lives. That is Rosalyn Diprose paraphrasing Merleau Ponty's The Primacy of Perception in her Corporeal Generosity (p.89) .
I'm not sure. It sounds more like a mother child encounter than one between two adults.
