"Connection"

~ We must become the change internally 

that we are searching to bring 

about externally.

~ Gwendolyn  Zoharah Simmons, PhD

       Hand friend, Heart friend, Pillow friend, Spirit friend.  We need the Friends of our hands. We need the people who walk the picket line with us.  We need the people who sit with us as the kitchen table and listen to our stories.  Some of those are are hand friends.  Some are our heart friends. Who is it who will listen to your deep grief when you are disappointed in your children, when your best friend has betrayed you, when you wake up in the night weeping and afraid?  Who is it who will bring you the Gift of touch?  Hand friend, Heart friend, Pillow friend, and Spirit friend.  We need our ritual Sisters and Brothers.  And we need our Connection to the Divine, however we Language that and Know it.
