This written communion reflects the very personal, deep and intimate support, guidance and love Our Friends offer me.  Perhaps the whole point is to be naked, genuine, honest…not to cover the communion over with polish and distance, with “teaching,” but to keep it personal.  It is through the particular that we learn.  I have had difficulties in my life.  The vulnerabilities of my process — and my experience of Our Friends’ ongoing presence, guidance and love – might be exactly what will inspire and support others.  I feel this deeply.

I have so many pages of journaled communion with Our Friends that I do not know where to begin.  I will start with what leaps out at me.  Some posts will be dated; others will not.  I will do all I can to protect the anonymity of others in my life.  If a name is given, unless it is with permission, you may assume it is a pseudonym.

This journaled communion happens in a couple of ways.  Sometimes I record Our Friends for myself just as I do for others.  Then, I transcribe (I have many yet to transcribe.)  Sometimes I sit and commune with Our Friends in silent meditation.  When done, I write in my journal what I remember, along with the insights, thoughts and connections they inspired in me.  As you become familiar with Our Friends’ voice, and my own, you will be able to differentiate who you are “hearing” in these posts.  Perhaps the most interesting thing about these pages will be the  co-mingling of our voices.
