"I have a new kind of longing. As I've matured, I've developed a longing for community, much in the same way I used to long for romantic relationships."
I had the bravery to say this out loud. Yes, bravery. One doesn't speak from the heart like that on a whim - unless one is putting a bit of performance on.
I just had the most amazing opportunity to speak my heart, and listen to the heart of this woman. I was at a retreat on the Art of Hosting for three and a half days, and every interaction was amazing! I attribute it to the listening and mindfulness and open ways of being that we were all learning together.
And, yes, it's once again my birthday! Seems very appropriate as I envision myself as a butterfly, emerging from its chrysalis.
