Being Open

It is just good to be alive and experience the love and connection that I am now open to.  The importance of love and connection has been talked about in several of my recovery meetings, recently, including the fact that forming a loving connection also means that it hurts when that connection is disrupted by death or simply moving on.  Personally, I even feel some sadness each time a meeting ends and the connection stops for a time.  I find joy and fulfillment in all of the various feelings involved, they are all aspects of love, different sides of the same coin.  I used to be like a human computer, closed off to the process.
