Em,
Thank you for that very generous reply, I am glad that you were able to see that I was coming from a place of concern. But its obvious that you are very aware of all the issues and are prepared to deal with them.I think that the boundaries have been SO important to me in dealing with these issues that I'm assuming that has to be true for everyone and I know better than that.I really do believe that our healing path is as unique as we are. We can understand some of the places, experiences and feelings of other people enough to lend support but no two people will go exactly the same way to get better.

And your willingness to risk in order to feel alive and deeply connected and conscious is at the heart of living a life worth living.

And I don't believe in "normal" procedures. And I wouldn't want you feeling like you have to conform to some ideal of mine. I've done my fair share of heading off in directions that other people have looked at askance and many times I've done the right thing despite how it looked to others. You are very clear about what you're doing, what the dangers and issues are and what resources you have to deal with them. It is impossible to do more than that.

Thank you for allowing me to speak and better yet, hearing me. I wish you blessings and peace on your journey. And it would be good to continue hearing about how you're doing. You provide a perspective very different from mine which is always a good thing. Take care.
