Hi Apollonius,

I love your reflections. They help me to dig deeper. Thank you. There were a few occasions this past year when I shared with a lifelong friend and a close family member that I was on the edge. I was saddened and surprised that in both cases there was no response, and telepathically I sensed that a great divide had set in and, indeed, was probably always there under my denial. On reflection about what the mirror showed me in those situations, I realized it no longer serves my highest good to "need" love and acceptance -- and to be heard. However, I haven't fully let go of my neediness just yet, but I feel it dissolving away bit by bit as I continue to feel my darkness and sadness about this, and see myself walking away from the density through an open door into the Light. The One needs nothing at all. And I'm observing that the outer mirror is gradually changing. I am attracting others into my life who don't run away in fear when I trust enough to share with honesty and vulnerability -- such as yourself. And in those situations where I honour my cat-like perceptivity and inner knowing that certain others won't understand, I will heed you advice and won't attempt to describe what it means to be exactly where I need to be (ha)! Catherine :)
