Last night's Awakin circle was absolutely magical!!!!! It was intimate with the pressure of the holidays and, of course, the exact right people were there. One person spoke of her choice to live, and to truly live each moment. Another reflected on how easy it is to say that and a profound commitment to maintain it. Another shared the impact of her neighbor's death on how she's shifted her living (very similar death as described in the reading). Another discussed how his decision to live until 120 has lessened the pressure to get everything done in parallel. The highlight came when one person celebrated her one-year anniversary "almost to the hour" of being sober. Wow! What a joy to be sharing in that celebration with her. What an honor that she picked our Awakin circle as the place she wished to celebrate. In honor of her anniversary, after metta and before dinner, we did a happy dance and gave her her first ever group hug!!!! :-)
