Connections 💞

There’s nothing in this world as sweet as the love of connection.

That heartfelt longing for another soul to forge a bond with yours.

I have been in a state of longing for connection since February 2020 which was my last time in a gathering outside of family.

Fortunately for me, this last gathering before the Rona hit was a Sufi retreat so I was glutted with connection right before I was starved!

I am not complaining, actually. I have had numerous spiritual shifts and have been able to do so much inner work as a result of being quarantined.

I am grateful for having the opportunity to go inwards.

But still, I missed the connection of in-person gatherings.

I met so many wonderful people through the miracle which is Zoom.

I made friends across the globe.

I took courses which would not have been available online before.

I learned so much over these last two years.

But still, I missed the connection of in-person gatherings.

At long last, last week I got a brief but beautiful opportunity to re-connect with 3 of my favorite people in the world, my spiritual teachers, Shaikh Kabir Helminski & Shaikha Camille Helminski, and my BFF, Fohzia!

I can’t even begin to tell you the sheer joy of this time together—a short 24 hours in which so much love and laughter was shared.

Spending time with people you love and respect is a precious gift.

And I came complete circle last week, beginning and ending my quarantine with the same three beautiful souls.

What an exquisite way to re-connect with life.
