One last thing…
Thank you all. For this project. To be with me at this time in my life. I’m honored to have been a part of your lives as well!
After writing last week’s entry I found this feeling and I wrote it in my journal:
“I can only trust. There is no alternative.. I have to be available to be hurt and to feel pain. Pain sucks. But being available to experience that pain rather than recoil from the thought of it, is likewise being available to experience life’s joy. Open and permeable. When my patterns try to control a situation away from the threat of that most painful pain, there is an equal and opposite contraction and resistance to the very sweetness and lightness that life offers. Can I be hurt and have an open heart? Can I be softly vulnerable and yet resolute in my honesty and purpose? To hurt and keep my chin up and shoulders back, so the tears that cleanse and purify have no place to pool. “

Blake,
This is a theme everywhere these days. I was inspired to write this on Sunday: http://nowstayopen.blogspot.com/2010/11/benevolent-invitation.html
There is a key here.
So grateful to have written here, too, with all of you, and I’m so glad to call you a friend.
