When my friend sat us down for the interview, she also looked confused at our sparkling demeanor. And as we spoke of our completion ceremony in glowing terms, she tried to ask questions that would reveal the paintruth was that our journey had been one of liberation and healing.
At the very end of the interview, Drew said, “I have one more thing to add.” I turned to look at him. He then spoke to me directly, and told me that through this experience he had never loved me more, that it was how I handled this transition, this completion without ever going into “blame or shame,” with the highest vision and love in place that allowed him to see his own patterns, shadows, and allowed him to do his own healing. Would I be interested in continuing a relationship where he was 100 percent on board?
I sat there looking at my friend and did one of those double takes. “What the @#$*!&?” I thought to myself. And then a burst of emotion and tears and me saying “CUT!” (Luckily my friend didn’t cut.) I have yet to look at the tape and will at some point release it for its medicinal and I’m sure entertaining purposes.
What a denouement! Drew has a flare for storytelling himself, I should have known. Turns out he had made this decision for a few weeks but wanted to make sure that we recorded the information about the Completion Ceremony first.
I was in shock the whole day, and that night he told me “I get that the man with those shining eyes is me.” I nodded yes and that evening was woken up by a glow of golden and pink light that surrounded us. I touched him and whispered, “Do you feel that?” And he whispered back, “Yes.”
In the past month, the unfolding of our relationship has reached a new spiral of expansion, of flow unlike that which I’ve ever experienced. There is an ease and lightness as well as the powerful foundation that I envisioned. And I realized that the power behind our foundation has everything to do with this experience that we have undergone. It is a daily revelation. And per Drew’s flash of insight, we will be having our Beloved Ceremony Valentine’s Day 2009.
May our story bring joy and peace to your heart.
All my love,
