The Fullness of Friendships
During this month of August, on a road trip back home to Wisconsin, I am focused on appreciating and celebrating my longtime friends. My ‘work’ on this trip is connection, and the calendar page I tore from the wall before I left North Carolina is filled with names of people I love. What we do together doesn’t matter much to me, so I leave it up to them. I drive hither and yon just to be, together.
It’s been well over three years since I moved away from here and left the friends I am visiting. As I find myself again in places that have meaning for me, I see layers upon layers of experiences and memories and turning points. In the layers I see my life slowly unfolding toward who I am in the present. And I am keenly aware that it is because of the friends I found myself with, at those places, that my life quilt has unfolded into the pattern it has.
Tonight’s full moon, the closest to the earth of all the full moons of 2014, is in Aquarius, which is said to rule friendships. So tonight, especially, at the peak of the super Moon’s cycle, I focus on the spiritual harvest of friendships throughout my life. With profound gratitude, I bow to the divinity within each of the beautiful beings who has befriended me on my path.
Great to see you dear one!
A beautiful theme for the first movement of this music. Thanks for swinging by and humoring my somellier and agreeing to splitting a dessert. I “owe” you so much, the trouble you endured getting me outside of my own head. And my son. And, the riches of a found life. The little time we spent together raising David changed everything for me. In spite of tears, I knew in a dark way I was learning.
