Guest guest Posted March 29, 2003 Report Share Posted March 29, 2003 [This story is dedicated to Ardee-ann] 3/29/03 "Ties that Bind" "I apologize that it has been so long for me to get back to you. I haven't known quite how to say this, but this morning it seems rather simple. This thing that we have, this "relationship" has got to end now. I don't want to have anything to do with it anymore. I totally love you, I really do, and that will never, ever change. But I am not interested in having anything with you that is short of total openness, total honesty, and totally in love and support of who we were, who we are now and who we are growing into being. I only want a relationship with you if it brings with it a sense of renewed unity and strength, joy and thankfulness and for the last I-don't-know-how-long, that has been the opposite of my experience. So, for now, this is goodbye, and I truly wish you all the best. In deep respect for you and also for me..." The above is quoted from an extremely liberating (and long overdue) letter that I sent this morning to my only sibling, my beloved brother, who at one time was my closest and dearest soul-buddy on the entire planet.

I'm sorry that you felt you had to write it. Hi, You are not the only one who interpreted it that way. The truth is that it was quite a lighthearted letter and even had childhood "inside jokes" in it. I had prayed the night before for the perfect words and then the letter came easily in the morning and I went ahead and sent the first (and only) draft. It was so liberating, so freeing, that Ananda and I immediately started dancing after I hit the "send" button! Whenever I think of it, there is joy. Imagine that!
