May, no, it never does seem to end.
I think that's life's process....constant growth and change. Every now and then a bomb goes off and you have to re-evaluate everything, thus totally reeducating yourself. I do see some redundance for me, as there are patterns....things the universe is trying to get me to learn that I seem unable or resistant to. But, for the most part, it's the way it is -- especially if you life your life consciously and really present.

I'm so glad that you were swept up, that's a great thing for me to hear. When someone tells me that something hit home, like you said, or something similarly, it only reinforces to me that I should be writing it. It's sometimes hard for me to write from such a raw and vulnerable place...well, it's easy...it's hard to share it. :) I do feel that way, especially after this situation, but I hold on to the possibilities that there are people I just haven't met yet that will change my opinion. I believe it will come in time. I see it happen around me, and I let hope fill me up...and I also try and look at my personal part of the equation...what I can do differently. Learning to make new choices takes time. I'm touched and very pleased that you liked what I said, but I'm sorry that you identify so strongly. Thank you for such a thoughtful and lovely comment, and welcome. I hope you will keep reading.

The re-educaation never ends does it? I keep finding new ways to think and to be and yet in no time those ways are redundant

Temple~
this is the first time i have read your blog... wow, i was swept up in all of it. in the final paragragh you said something really "brought it home" for me. you echoed my own heart so perfectly that it scared the hell out of me (and made me sad..... sad that you feel this way too... and i know there are other people who feel unworthy of the very thing we ache to have....)
thank you for writing this, for communicating yourself on such a raw level..... i loved so much what you said: I think my pain now is intensified now because the people I believed would always let me be me, would understand what I needed, would talk to me if there was a problem, have now left me or put distance there…and it makes me wonder if there will ever be a time when I can really put my full trust in someone…if I can ever find someone that will know the real me, good bad and ugly, and stay and accept me.

Temple, seems you've travelled a long, hard road.
Here's hoping that you're at the start of something wonderful.
