My sister and myself
This young one never learned how to hold and cherish herself in difficult moments and thus developed an inner separation and loneliness. Yesterday with a little help from my friends, especially Raffaella and later my new “A Course of Love” group, I was lead to a profound experience of grief for the separation I have had from myself, for my rejection of the lonely part of myself, for the self betrayal and rejection, for the desire to kick “damaged” aspects of self to the curb. The tears were met with such cleansing relief and profound gratitude that I was finally able, perhaps for the first time, to hold ALL of myself with the most exquisite love and compassion. So many on the spiritual path, like me, inadvertently condemn their humanity in their attempts to access their divinity. What I am discovering, remembering, is that there is no difference, no separation, no duality. We are indeed always in the field beyond. Raffaella is today”s earth angel for being such a compassionate, wise, warm hearted, caring, endearing friend. She again held such superb space for me to finally be able to access the agony of this self rejection. Thank you dear friend, I adore you.
