RE: An Unexpected Delight at SteemFest²!
So well stated! Ok, now I a little bit sad (again) that I couldn't be there. The vulnerability - that's such a major part of the best things in life and wow- how much effort do most of us put into avoiding it?! I think I speak for everyone- A Lot. And for some good reasons too but because it has become such a convenience to do so- many, many of us are missing out on too much of our own lives, and depriving others of same. Even as I read this and imagine myself there I feel it- such exhilaration and fear also, to be honest. What is that? (I imagine scenes with tremendous clarity- Lol). But hey, when you join together as a family- when is there a better time?
It truly was the perfect opportunity to engage the moment, to question fears and ideas, and to just be present. In my experience it is a rarity to find people open and vulnerable enough to really go there. There is indeed a very great connection of community happening through Steemit and this is just one of the indications that together, awakening can happen.
I am grateful and blessed that at the @gardenofeden we get to experience these kinds of relationships, and challenge ourselves to stand in the discomfort and joys of knowing ourselves and each other. This is doing the real work.
Grateful for your comment @dougbudlong and to see there are others who can feel the great value of showing up as ourselves....together.
