Thank you so much Agua, I was really hoping you would reply.
You hit on so many bits of information that resonates. I cannot imagine how much more difficult this would have been if the heart part had been a struggle. You are pretty incredible to have managed that in such a tricky order.
I have no idea if I would have made that path successfully as you have.
It really is nice to hear someone else say how I feel. I have one spiritual person in my real life(husband) and a close friend that is doing some of "the work" but not facing it head on as spiritual. It is so weird to walk a path without agreeing what the path is.
Lots of off roading to stay friends.
It must be even harder for him as he is friends with so many walking the opposite direction as me.
Likely part of my catalyst in this is not wanting to outpace/grow this friend. Better than his catalyst of not being able to go in both directions.
I hadn't thought of doing spiritual retreats to meet people, or maybe just as a side effect.
At least it would take me out of "the conventional world" with people for a change, that would be nice.
Like your work with children I have been wanting to start working with the dying. I put out feelers last fall when work slowed for the season but never heard back. I assumed that meant I had more healing to do first.
Having already "packed up" I would not want another dark night triggered by watching people return home, while I remain here.
Always so much work to do inside. Perhaps I should start smaller and work my way there.
Thank you for giving me more to consider as I make this stage less strange.
Thank you also just for telling me you have been to this place too. It's a weird experience.
Thanks Agua
