I
did not have the words until now, because i did not have an
understanding. Any creepy, invasive things i have said to you were
attempts at communicating something deeper than my self-awareness was at
the time. But i have been doing the work, and i feel it important to
share this with you because i began this work while we were more apart
of each others daily lives and i know that as much as i was affected by
you, my behavior affected you as well.
This
is me communicating to you as best i can at this point that i am aware
of the harm other people's actions can do and that you are not immune. I
also know things that cut deep are difficult to overcome - they take
time that is not always available in the craziness of day-to-day
responsibilities etc., and they are hard to heal when facing them alone.
A
lot of what i have to remember of the past two years is my lack of
integrity and how far from accurate my words and actions were from what i
meant. I was stuck and so my body got sick, and when i started to get
unstuck my identity fell a part....and that was the same time period
that i spent a lot of my time around you, and i know that my self-doubt
got in the way of my ability to be authentic and a dependable person.
Every
interaction i can recall having had with you gave me opportunity to
reflect on hard questions and you being a person i value gave me the
motivation to actually find the answers, and because of those same
reasons i want to send this email to you. I value that wisdom i have
gained and the role your unique presence in my life played in those
lessons offered to me thus far.
I
have no expectations of you, nor desire any sort of reciprocation, and i
honestly never have. I do want you to be happy and live a life full of
adventure, fun, and fulfillment. My definition of being a good friend
involves communicating such intentions and offering up my own viewpoint
whenever I can.
You
and i are very different, in infinite ways, and that makes it hard to
be friends sometimes, but the perspective gained from those differences
makes it totally worth any hardship it has or will cause on my end.
I
assume nothing about you or what your doing or how you are. And no
matter how much i wish we still talked and could have meaningful
conversations nowadays, i don't require it to still love you. And that
love i have for you, has been there from the start and will never go
away. I share that with you not because i want you to love me back, but
so you know you are worth loving even if the reality you interact with
makes it hard to remember.
I
am always here for you; and as i become more and more the Shaman I
aspire to be, I am as much at your service to whatever extent you are
willing to accept as I am anyone. But not everyone will i gain as much
insight into my own work as i have from the authentic interactions i
have had with you.
You
need not be anything other than what you desire to be, and there is a
way to free up the desire to do within yourself and use it to create the
life you find worth living. That is my definition of magic. And true
magic comes from within. This is not a belief but a proven truth....a
truth that i cannot provide you the proof of tho, because the proof is
in the personal experience. But i can help you to see that proof, when
you find it difficult to see and help you to do that for others. That is
a big part of what a shaman does, and an ever-increasing part of how i
see my experience of reality and the world around me.
Thanks for reading this if you did.
