Real People In My Life At Last

This morning, I get a phone call from someone I have come to hold very dear .. we said we would try to meet up, other things have filled up my day, I cannot meet .. L is fine with it and I love her so much for that .. amongst the laughter, there is seriousness and heart .. we arrange to meet up another time .. we end up on the phone for almost two hours !! I feel so lifted following .. like I am floating on air.

I visit my parents for lunch, I am due at P's around 4pm, I have convinced myself I do not want to go, I said I would, so I do .. and boy am I glad I did .. I arrive at P's to be greeted by M's beaming face and the hugest most genuine hug in the world .. ever .. it is the perfect start to a perfect afternoon. We hang out, there is live music, singing and idle banter, everyone is chilled and so normal .. I realise how little I allow myself 'normal' .. P is wearing the friendship bracelet I made for him around his ankle and the accompanying mandala is on the wall .. I am deeply touched .. I have the most amazing afternoon and don't really want to leave.

Without the Deepening, this wouldn't have been .. I am so blessed .. and I am thankful.

We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dream
