Whole Again: On becoming who I truly am

I haven’t posted for months now. I’ve been getting my bearings in my new home, my new job, my new spiritual community and, most importantly, with my family. My mother has Alzheimer’s Disease. As awful as it is, the person that it has transformed her into is a person that has allowed all of us the emotional space for all of us to let go of the past.

I am giving a lot of thought to how life begins to come full-circle at some point. It seems to be the same point at which one becomes capable of letting go of pain, anger, greed, arrogance and attachments. It is the best place I have ever been though my family are going though one of the most difficult yet unifying times of our lives. We are strengthening yet softening our hearts at the same time.

It is this that has given me the energy and motivation to begin to express myself in this way once more. The combination of maturity, spirituality and courage cannot be underestimated in its ability to its ability to allow one to let go of what is false and insignificant embrace that which is true and everlasting--like family and self.

Peace.
