I have changed so radically - in the way I think and see life - as a result of this journey. It’s not right for me to try to squash myself back into a box that I no longer fit into. My intention is to expand as far as I can in this life, SPIRITUALLY. Now it is clear that I need to seek out people who are likeminded in a soulful way: interested in ancient wisdom-teachings from all backgrounds, who love Creativity and Nature. These are the folks who are my true tribe. I am forced to re-define “family” and what that will look like for me from here on out. I am not content to merely engage in spiritual dialogue on the internet whilst eking out a living in “drudgeryville.” I need to move on to find out where I belong. I need to find a new direction to move in. I need to find a group with common values that is committed to something larger than myself and my small concerns. Right now, I need what the ancient Druids would call a “soul-friend” (Anam Chara)who can help me narrow my focus so that I can begin to map out the next steps on my path; someone who understands the process of true transformation and transition, a support person who can help me keep moving along the path and not get stuck (as I know will happen if I continue to walk the path of the “lone-wolf.”) This is where all of my Friends come in. Is there an apprenticeship where I can learn how to take my intuitive, compassionate, and creative gifts and put them into some kind of practical, meaningful, and fulfilling use? I am praying with all my heart that I can achieve more intensity in the realm of bliss. It has been a long and dificult journey, but now I think I’m finally “coming home” to Myself. Thank you all for your kindness and generosity toward me. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!!
