Good Differences - A Spiritual Story

I love taking every opportunity there is in celebrating all the good differences that make each of us so entirely unique. I hope you, my darling readers, feel that in all that we do, and in the special union that now exists with Jeff and I.

Union is the very thing that is accomplished when we recognize and accept all the many differences and characteristics we all have.

I have witnessed all the many layers that drive wedges between people, and can so often see how to solve those gaps, acknowledge our amazing and unique differences, and return to greater love. In saying that, I would be remiss if I didn’t admit that I myself have left some huge relationships behind, in order to respect myself and be true to who I am. My heart doesn’t let go lightly, even though letting go is very much a personal core ingredient of evolving to this life of mine.

I remember many years ago, meeting with a really bubbly, fun woman at a retreat center, in Northern California. You know when you meet up with someone and there’s an instant familiar sense………they feel like family and it’s instantly comfortable simply being in their presence? She was like that and her whole demeanor was super cool, even with her name being “Sage.”

We were in the same class, learning spiritual principles, and pushing the envelope of opening the heart and claiming more personal understanding. I was “all in” with that class and Sage was delightful company. She was in my bunk house, and I related more to her than anyone else there.

On day two of the five day retreat, Sage asked me if she could be entirely honest, and of course I said yes. She told me sweetly and in an almost shy way that she was someone who preferred the company of women on every level, and was not only drawn to me as a friend, loving my British accent and fun slightly quirky sense of humor, but she was also attracted to me, and wondered if there was any possibility I would ever feel the same. She asked me in such an honest and gentle way, that I wouldn’t have to face her with any rejection or acceptance. It was simply a shared observation and an open hearted question.

I walked with her, letting her know that I had a preference for men on the romantic and sensual level. I did tell her, however, that if I’d have ever imagined or considered a relationship on every level with a woman, it would be an honor to explore that with her. She was filled with all the good differences that anyone would be fortunate to be around. She smiled, hugged me, and we thoroughly enjoyed the rest of our time at that retreat. I was really happy that I witnessed her meeting a lovely woman, who was interested in her on every level, which then completed that interaction we had shared.
