As I open up to deeper levels of experience, I wonder who will be accompanying me. Already, I feel that there are only a small number of companions with whom I can openly walk side by side. The kinship with these companions is palpable. I am so glad to have them as companions.
I do not choose to have a partner, but I do invite companions. I will not again allow one person to determine the framework of my life.
Where I am going is a solitary plane, but I clearly want companions to accompany me. I do not want to go there alone. I invite others to be with me, walk the same way with me. Still, the reactions of others to me is so mixed.
I think there is a difference between being solitary and being alone. I do not want to be alone. It is often a struggle to find my steady bearings.
I take refuge in my companions. They are the ones I truly love, with whom I share open-heartedness. We support one another because together we know where the trail exists. We walk a similar way, always aware of one another.
