I've learned a lot about trust with you guys. I guess this was the first time I stayed with a group and didn't exclude myself. What an incredible feeling of permission and acceptance... and also how scary - so much safer to keep my distance. I want to explore this feeling of trust, and so I'm taking a few baby steps. Dawn
I remember in our small group your eyes looking so soft and yet as though on fire, burning quietly with something from within you, and you spoke of the love you felt, felt for all of us, and you seemed so sure of this love, seemed peacefully at home in it... I felt very held by you then, as I felt held by you all, the whole of the CB circle - quite how much I am only beginning to realise now that the circle's gone .... Nadja
I am awash and abuzz with astonishing learning and reverberations etc, etc, from this amazing 6 days. Mike
Since coming back home - to my flat, that is - 'cos I've got another "home" now - I think the "frightened little lonely childhood boy" part of me has been afraid of looking/feeling too deeply about our time together, because tears are near the surface. I must share this with you all, because more than one of you sensed there was more to me than I knew and was letting on - and you have finally teased/"bullied"/coaxed it out; you helped me discover how frightened of losing his friends and companions the little 7-10 year old Colin has been for all this time. It was devastating to be so thoroughly embraced, it shattered my shell to pieces - forever, I hope. Words cannot express - you're all so wonderful, such beautiful, beautiful hearts, however rough-n-ready externals may be - I (tearfully) love you all. Colin
