Feeling the Love

[porsha]

I can not help but smile and be grateful that the stars aligned to introduce the guild to me at this transitional point in my life. I have never been hugged so much in my life. The energy changes in the room once it is filled with all of these beautiful people trying to spread love through the verse. It's like they force love down your throat whether you like it or not. 

My mind is blown by the organization within the guild. Everything is moving smoothly like clock work and it looks like no one is breaking a sweat doing it. The calm and balance oozing off each member I meet is infectious. The classes have been extremely refreshing to step into. Especially the meditations and walkabouts with Finula on Monday nights. Oddly enough I do not want to leave them when they are over. I actually feel like all of the noise from my hectic day gets put on pause so I that I can focus on every step I take down the path that she leads us down. 

I experienced a public tea ceremony hosted by the High Priestess. Everyone started floating in their seats after taking a sip of their tea. I looked around shocked and then stared back down at my tea and was like ...."OOHHHH...this is supposed to get me high..." I argued with my sister for the longest time about the purpose of the tea and we ran around trying to clear the matter up and everyone just laughed at us. No tea time is not high time....pouts. Actually it is the most beautiful thing in the world, because your tea is being prepared with a heavy dose of love. I have sat down to have tea with two of my Jei Jei's and got the chance to ask them what they thought the heart of the guild was. They both instantly answered "Love!". It was the love in the community that held it together. I have only been observing for two weeks now and hearing them speak of love made me feel like I never knew what that word meant. I feel like I am in for a long journey in re-learning that word.

I want to say thank you to every one for the warmest of welcomes and I look forward to soaking up every lesson offered to me because I need them desperately. I wish you all well!

I'm very sure this is lovely, but is it possible for it to not be blue on black? I have the worst time with trying to read this.
