HOME, SWEET HOME — Heart to heart

At the end of the day, the community gathered to share a drink.

The groups changed. Sometimes those who had worked together met up; sometimes people of different ages gathered, or friends who happened to cross paths. There was no need to stay within the same circle.

The water came from a healing spring deep in the heart of the planet. Before drinking, they grew still and offered, from their hearts, whatever they wished to share. The water received all they brought to that gathering and became an elixir of healing and connection. As they drank, they joined heart to heart with the planet, with the Source, and with beings throughout the universe.

Skyblue held her cup in both hands. She felt close to Aurora and Feliz, to her family, to the planet that had welcomed them. Beyond it lay the enchanted lands. Her love for those she had left there grew so strong that for a moment she thought she could hear Ernesto’s leaves.
