It is the morning after and the remenants of last night's party are hard to see. Ally directed the clean-up crew with her usual expertise. But, I see a slip of paper here, the tables out of sorts waiting to put back in line, the couch cover in disarray.

But, I can feel the party in my heart. I can feel it in my feet. It is all over me. All this love, all this sensation.

Nic and I walked in around 8:45pm. I was already high as kite from our intimate talk at the kitchen table. We walked in and the noise of the party dissapated and 40 heads turned my way. I felt like I was a rock star. My heart started to beat a little faster, my breathe a little shorter. I was overwhelmed by how much love was pushed at me in that very moment. It was like standing at the shore and having a wave crash on me. I realized I felt immobilized.

I turned to the first person I saw and gave her a hug and thanked her for coming. We talked for a few minutes and then I turned to the next person. And the next person. And the next. With each conversation, with each energy exchange, I got more and more how rich my life was. I realized how many people are part of me now, how deep my community is.

It is later and I'm dancing and I feel arms wrap around me from behind. I'm not sure who it is and for a moment I close my eyes and let the mystery overtake me. I feel like I'm being held not by one person but by many. I realize how amazing this sensation is. How held I feel not only in that moment but in my daily life. I am not seperate, I am part of a whole. I am not alone, I am surround by the loves of my life.

Thank you for everyone who came.
Thank you to everyone who couldn't. I felt you all.
Thank you to all those on the outer edges of the sandbox.
Thank you to my parents and sister who built a strong foundation of love.
Thank you Nicole for this life.
