Connection and love

In preparation for the coming retreat, I have been reflecting on the importance of my connection with all things and people. On the one hand, I find a great deal of depth and fulfilment because of those connections. I also recall a time when I was totally focused on the task at hand with no messy or complicated emotional or spiritual connections. At that point my life seemed simple, logical and straight forward. However, I also knew something was missing from my life, I just had no clue that it was love and connection.
