back to the source.
today, at the brightest moment on the brightest day, on the solstice of the summer, my love surprised me with a reunion ceremony by the sea. he arranged for us to be witnessed and blessed by two wise and beautiful guides, and at precisely 1:01 pm, i was grounded into a moment of pure light. the feeling in my body was not one of giddy excitement, but of a sweet expansive exhale.
the practice of conscious partnership is not for the faint of heart. it requires presence and a commitment to a level of inquiry that reveals all the shadows. but the payoff is transformative. it is nothing short of revelatory. and it is surely a great doorway to freedom.
it is always love that wins.
tomorrow i head to london with my daughter to revel in more proclamations of love. we will be attending the wedding of two fabulous souls who, when i was not so grounded in light, showed me that true raw funny profound transparent partnership was, indeed, possible. i can’t wait to be there, circled up with the tribe, my own love solid in my heart, celebrating the only thing that matters.
And from beyond the intellect, beautiful Love comes dragging her skirts, a cup of wine in her hand. ~Rumi

i havent stopped by in a little while, i too have been feeling like the words are refusing to string and so have spent recents weeks and months removed from the world of blogs, submerged in the natural world and that of a three year old. and so when I reentered yours today and caught up I was swept off my feet my heart expanded, and a little more grace rushed in.
yes you have been speaking in metaphors for quite awhile now, intriguing and poetic and elusive, as if you had cast a beautiful, translucent veil over your heart in order to give it maybe just a enough privacy to heal and just enough light to allow the connections remain.
and now what you have managed to unveil to us- and yourself- and your loved ones- is so remarkable I once again feel wordless and if I am simply sitting back and watching that veil catch a light breeze and sail off into a beautiful summer afternoon.
ahhhh…. not a new love (which i was suspecting before) but rather a newly-infused enduring, empowered love. nothing richer, nothing sweeter. nothing more worthy of abundance. and sweet,sweet blessing.
