One of the most amazing things about being in Boulder is the connections I've made in AA here. Shortly after arriving i met several women in AA who wanted to work the 12 steps and we jumped right in.. 2 of the women i've been working with have made it all the way through step 4 writing out an inventory of resentments, fears, sex, hurts, etc..
Today I had an opportunity to sit with both of them and do the 5th step and review the inventory, this is a sacred healing journey of mass proportion. I don't think i'll ever forget today, the heart connection, the openness, the intimate loving exchange was more than remarkable, healing, transformative. Deep inquiry into fear, willing to walk right in, be with it, embrace it, willing to drop all resistance and allow it to offer it's gifts was so expansive i was literally beyond myself for hours afterwards..
There is a line in the Prayer of St Francis that states .. it is by self forgetting that one finds.. it is so true..
Thank you Alice and Margo.. I love ya!
