Charlie,

What an amazing story of freewheeling and being pulled by the signs and synchronicities to receive guidance, clarity and support in life. And of course to actualise and realise! The way you described your journey it beautifully illustrates the magic co-created in Openhand retreats. Like you, I had found on my very first retreat the power of free wheeling and the deeper connection we can experience to everything around us. To me, this feeling was about being everything and nothing at the same time!

Oh yes, I see fairies and hear of fairies and even dream of fairies at the moment! So, when Jean shared his encounter with the Pixies, I smiled. And here you are with your encounter of the fairy world. Supernatural is Natural :) Thank you very much for sharing such powerful stories of the amazing Openhand freewheeling engagement of life as you live it, which for me, means how to live this life Awake. And please do keep sharing your journeys and magical encounters and gems here , there are no mistakes only opportunities and expressing Soul :) As for the Proofreader, 'he' can be useful in my opinion when 'he' approaches with care, softness and a sense of craftsmanship, if you like, but checked and kept at bay (yet another opportunity to self-realise) when 'he' becomes judgemental, a limitation to expression and a destructive force. And yes, we all have a self-critic, you're not alone :)

Wise Love
