We’re THAT Close… to Home

Thanks, Joy.
Sometimes I forget how close we are, because appearances can be deceptive.
I may have told this story before, but I think it fits our scenario right now in some ways.
I recall part of a character-building, experiential workshop I attended near San Francisco, California where we were all playing Asian-style warriors.
They gave us various challenges to compete against our opponent from another team, and before each challenge, we would “ground and centre” with a specific posture.
I’m not a competitive person, especially when it comes to physical stuff, but I aced my two challenges in the classroom. Then, we went out into the redwoods by bus and there were physical challenges for us to do both individually and in tandem with a partner.
I mastered the first two of those, but my partner had a major physical handicap, as well as one I couldn‘t see.
We had to climb way up the trunk of an ancient redwood using the foot/handholds provided. At the platform among the branches of the canopy there were two garden hoses attached to the trunk of the tree, about eighteen inches or so apart, and stretched across a clearing to another monstrous tree.
The hose was to stand on, like a tight-rope, and our harnesses were there for protection in case of a misstep.
We positioned ourselves opposite and facing each other and grasped our partner’s upper arms with outstretched hands.
It was exciting to be way up there in the trees with all the little faces down below focused on us, chanting encouragement. I’m not enthusiastic about heights where I’m forced to balance precariously, but I was okay with it.
My partner, however, was a young Amish woman who lost her lower left arm in a tractor accident as a girl. You can imagine she might find it difficult to navigate the garden hose underfoot and to balance while holding onto my arm with her only hand as we shuffled our feet along toward the tree anchoring the far end of the garden hoses.
The hoses gradually became farther apart; 24″… 28″… which forced us both to lean steeply into each other farther and farther, helmets almost touching. We were less than half way to the other side when my partner stopped in tears, saying she couldn’t go any further and literally begged me to let her go. What choice did I have?
She was gripped by fear and I couldn’t reason with her or coax her to go on, so we let go of each other and jumped off the hose, sailing gently to the forest floor in our harnesses as the ground crew belayed our ropes.
My partner was a mess. She was curled up on the pine needles bawling her eyes out in terror while the instructors soothed her. I was sympathetic, of course, poor thing, but because I really wanted to know if I could have gone all the way had I been matched up with someone else, I was disappointed, as well.
I couldn’t quite put myself in her place and understand what was so frightening about that experience. We were perfectly safe in a harness and helmet and it was impossible to fall. It was a rush! But I felt compassion for her in her distress.
The reason this memory came to mind is because we’re all on our own journeys and we need to ground and centre purposefully sometimes.
We may often travel in circles where we are very evenly matched, but at other times we are coming from disparate experiences and emotional frames of mind and heart. We have to dig deep to find common ground.
This Amish woman and I had very little in common as far as demographics and experiences, yet we did. She was a sweet soul and told me she was praying I would pick her for my partner.
At this point in Humanity’s journey to freedom, some are what seems like light years ahead of us and doing powerful energetic work both on planet and off in other realms to “ground and centre” Gaia, and all who dwell with her.
