Last night my writing group expressed how meaningful the group has been to each of them. We'll continue meeting, but it was a spontaneous appreciation of the value for each member of our sharing of our writing and our lives. The group has deepened, and we are drawn closer to each other by this sharing. I'm so impressed with how everyone it at ease with gratitude and it's voicing. Right speech with a generous and thoughtful intent.
We talked it over and agreed that our aging is facilitating this recognition of being grateful, of appreciating what happens as it happens, of having a modicum of wisdom to see the bigger picture and our interconnectivity. This is the upside of aging: seeing what could not be seen before, speaking of what was not spoken before, expressing heart fullness, and strongly feeling our connection to each other and the world. What we write seems universal now, and precious. We have something to say, and we say it and then listen to the others. Wow!
