Facilitating Change

Almost 3:30AM. Instead of sleeping I read the thoughts and followed the connections between the people I’ve been meeting in Montreal. I am so aware of coming in to the middle of a conversation. Into the middle of something that’s already busy and vibrant and been going on for a long time now. And what happened? People here stepped aside and made a space for me. They welcomed me and let me in. For so many years I missed this place like a person. Montreal’s abscence (my abscence from it) left an emptiness and sadness. Now I am home. Simply walking down the street is soothing because I know I’m in the right place. My homecoming has not been easy. I miss Liam beyond belief and sometimes I cannot grasp that he is so far from me. Not easy sometimes heartbreaking. And at the same time my homecoming has been more wonderful than I could ever have imagined. So thank you everyone. For your generosity and openess. For making a space for me. I am home.
