Connections

Another very busy and long day with lots of connection with others in various different arenas.  The day began as I set up and then participated in a recovery meeting.  As usual, I had numerous brief but intense connections with other recovery friends.  After the meeting I had a period of about an hour of connecting with a variety of different plants around the meeting house.  The plants were feeling and smelling particularly vibrant since this is our rainy period, which they enjoy.  After that I went through several hours of interactions with individuals and families.  During all of the interactions, including those with plants, I made use of deep listening, intuition and guidance, which created a strong feeling of involvement.  The day was exhausting, in addition to being very fulfilling.
Along with the intensity I describe above there was also an underlying knowing that everything was, in addition to very intense and compelling, only a “game” to be enjoyed and participated in, but not taken to seriously.  Just like a very involving and long lasting game of Monopoly, it would last a while and then be over, until next time.  There was much talk and tears for life, death, general experiences and miracles, of various sorts, a wonderful set of experiences, but also transient.
