Great Wonder And A Swollen River

I do not believe there are words to describe what has happened to us all this last week. I don't even know where to begin. How can I possibly begin. I would use words like 'Awesome' 'Amazing' 'Beautiful' and it feels like they can not even come close.

On previous Deepening meets, I have written much in my journal .. this time .. although without doubt it has been by far the most mind blowing and emotional meet .. I have written little .. I have found it so very hard to reflect what I, what we all have felt ..

So much has happened, so many journeys we have taken, many, many stories, much laughter, joy and many tears .. I have shed tears in joy and tears in sadness .. tears from my heart as I am touched beyond my understanding by the courage and beauty of others ..

.. and somehow, the details do not seem important ..

.. how perfectly it wound down to the end .. a very, very beautiful ceremony, a glass offering, a loving cup, a little trip into the real world, live music, a disco, the gathering ourselves up, the cleansing of the space which has held us, the last bit of gentle Tai Chi with the burst river and a calling bird .. and finally a Jambay drum and the most perfect symbolic cutting of the tie ..

.. The Deepening is over, it is done .. the final circle is over and it is done ..
