Emotional & Spiritual Depth

For the last several days I have been making loving connections with many people of all ages and within a variety of circumstances, a wonderful and intense experience.  I used to focus on my work life and things like productivity rather than my interactions, relationships and connections.  I was walled off from a great deal of life.  When I look back on that period it seems emotionally flat and spiritually hollow.  I now feel more alive.  I should also admit that the earlier tine was also much simpler and all I could deal with, at the time.
