Another beautiful Sunday jam packed with Spiritual
Beauty. During the week I have
been cracked open to the experience of Love from close friends… a group of
individuals that I began my journey with a number of years ago. Over the years we have witnessed each
other’s growth through the pain, the joy, the girlfriends and boyfriends, death
of loved ones, celebrating triumphs and supporting each other through
losses. All in all, this group of
people are very special to me and I am steeped in Gratitude for their
love. Although I will be leaving
them here in Seattle in a few weeks I am glad that a new stage of my ripening
has occurred and I have realized from a deeper place how blessed I am to have a
group of people like these. I
realize how important it is to consciously choose my friends. To choose people who are interested in
Love and Dreams and in having high thought conversations. To chose people who hold me to my
best when I am playing small and remind me of who I am when I am genuinely beat
down by the hurly burly of the world.
A friend said to me the other night after a bliss filled evening of
purpose and passion filled conversation… “don’t be a stranger, Ash.” I’ve heard it so many times
before and I know my propensity to get lost in the adventure and be bouncing
from group to group. But now, it
is my time to serve the place of stability and accountability in my friendships. I need my tribe… my family in order to both
survive and thrive. I have a
joyful responsibility to participate in their dreams unfolding too. I am sober to be in powerful and
profound relationship with great people and those that I am connected to
through my blood lines. I am sober
to remain consistently powerful and peaceful in these relationships but mostly
so that I am free to actively and dynamically participate in relationships and
life!! I lean into the love of my
friends today and allow my human self to be as imperfect as it needs to be.
