glowing

7 years ago today, I saw you for the first time as you entered into the restaurant.

I’ll never forget that moment, as I’ve never seen anyone glow before… this golden iridescence that just emanated from your being.

I said “Hello”, we connected and I was unaware that my life was about to change, as for the next 10 weeks you held space for me, answered all of my questions born from my voracious curiosity, showed me things that I would have labeled as magic… if I didn’t see and experience them.

then you left to continue spreading your light upon this world and I embarked on my path of awakening. over the past 7 years I have fought my demons and ventured to the darkest parts of myself in search of trauma so I could heal it.

at a ceremony on October 22, I got to heal my core wound related to the death of my Grandfather, and my life changed for the second time as I am now free of that deep grief.

last week I met up with some friends and one of them said
“what did you do to your head? it’s like you are glowing!”

and in that moment I understood what I saw 7 years ago.

wherever you are, I’m thinking of you.
