Intimacy... what a funny word. After a retreat that I attended on this weekend, it holds a new and profound meaning for me.
I am Alvin and I'm checking in as Happy, at Peace and Renewed.
I went to "Big Canoe" in the mountains of Georgia over the weekend and spent a life altering 3 days with 11 other amazing black men. We all shared and purged personal demons, past hurts and long hidden secrets. The end result was a wonderful and cathartic spiritual cleansing. I feel lighter and more focused. I have 10 new spirits that I now feel connected to and that I wish to nurture our relationships and allow them to grow. I also have a renewed mandate to get my personal space in order and get out of my own way.
I've learned to begin to truly explore the way that my own past continues to control my present. I also realize now that I can no longer allow fear to keep me from being Present and in control of my life. It's a process that I'm determined to commit to and hopefully share to the brothers and sisters in my circle.
As I check out, I just want to say - "Nurture and take care of the child within and he will help you to grow and manifest into a Happy and Healthy adult"
Until lata.... I appreciate all who have touched my life and taken the time out to check in on me from time to time.
Love,
Alvin
