gathering.
it is about the willingness to touch. it is about “i see you” and “i’m here.” it is about creating new language that can translate our offerings. and it is about infinite love.
it is about throwing it all off, becoming naked and new. it is about clean and solid and green.
it is about kneeling, adorning, and devotion. it is about timelessness, breath, and the beyond.
it is about light, freedom, and, of course, joy. it is about space, finding, and listening.
in the summer of 2009, i wrote this. i glued it in a book and took it with me to india. at the time, i felt an insatiable hunger for it to become true. i knew it to be real and possible, but had no idea how it would take form. this past week in big sur, i was able to see, clearly, that it has become so.
beauty is our birthright. our longings lead us to love.
and we are meant to gather.
with all my love for you, and yours.

Beautiful Lisa ~ You articulated so well what I have been feeling…about this gathering being a reflection and expression of commitments I made to myself not so long ago, commitments I think sometimes take too seriously, am sometimes too earnest about. But they matter, and being mindful of them on a daily basis makes a difference. This is what I know, this is what I have been living ever since those commitments were made. Our longings DO lead us to love, and I’m glad yours and mine led us to each other.

Lisa- I am so thrilled to read how this was manifested for you. And, let’s face it, a wee bit jealous, because I long for and crave a similar one- a circle of connection and knowing born out of infinite love… I do love that this is what you’ve brought forth in your life and celebrate it so in my heart and mind.
xoxo
