Friendships Platonic relationships serve as the field upon which we can learn, discover and share interests; bonding through the exploration of our intellectual and emotional evolution. These dynamics can be some of the most significant aspects of our interpersonal connections; and the loss or destruction of them can cause great suffering and discomfort within us. Through Liberation, one is able to review and recognize this aspect of experience; letting it go, or perhaps honouring it evermore. Whenever I am with this beloved friend there is a very big, gigantic elephant in the room. We have tried to address what it is but we always go into endless rabbit holes which lead to the elephant becoming bigger each time. This week we met and decided that even if we could not figure out a resolution we would drop into the depth of the vulnerability of the heart and the exquisite pain of being alive. We would meet in a space with both of our truths, where we could feel each other. We prepared a Ceremony, where we took a dose of Liberation each and went into deep meditation. The meeting started, we tried the old rabbit holes again.... boredom and frustration kicked in‌'not again' we could see the maze coming‌ but then something amazing happened. We both went into a deep needed silence and this silence birthed a totally new experience. It was like the many veils that created some sort of spider web between us made by stories and fear shifted into a clear diamond light tapestry. Suddenly there was so much space for grace, we could see each other's eyes as if it was the first time. Everything was soft and tender and if there is a God, we both felt it was filling the room with Her presence. We dropped into each other's presence and were able to feel the magnificent experience of true human connection. So amazing to have Liberation and Blue Lotus to facilitate this mysterious journey into the Heart. - D
