I have learned that when you commit to a path with heart you will create your own network of friends and “family.” You will discover a community of fellow travelers. All of these individuals will be of different ages and experiences. You will recognize them by what they say and don’t say. You will recognize them by their ability to be present. You will recognize them by their willingness to be non-judgmental. You will recognize them by their compassion and humility.
Our youngest son used to say the following phrase about his best friend in high school, “he is my brother from another mother.” We will find our brothers and sisters on the path. We will find our allies and confidants, and they will give us wings and roots. They will be the source of blessings upon blessings. They become “family.”
Again, a path with heart is not an easy path, but it is a worthwhile path. It requires patience, faith, and commitment. It is a step by step journey. And today, 36 years later, here we are at the Fall ’22 Roundtable, a gathering of fellow travelers seeking new insights and perspective.
