Gathering your Tribe
Monday, December 1st, 2008There are those moments when the small world connection that you have just experienced reminds you that we are all connected. The frequency of these meetings keeps increasing. Syncronicity becomes the norm rather than the exception
For a long time now, I have thought of the ever expanding synchronicity in my life as a gathering of my tribe. I have often shared this belief with others but now it makes even greater sense. And that’s what the discussion was with my friend Marcus at the coffee shop.
I didn’t have wait long to put that theory into practice. By what we do and say, we attract to us our tribe, so that’s why it’s important to become clear as to what has meaning for us. That evening, I went to a holiday party that the two Bevs gave quite similar to last years. We went around the room sharing what we were grateful in our life and what moved us. It was a poem that Louise wrote and shared that impelled me to engage in a conversation with her later in the evening. She gave me a copy of her poem and I noticed her name on the bottom of the page where the copyright notice was. As with Louise most everyone in the room shared the same values. My search for what had meaning for me began over 35 years ago. In our conversation Louise and I discovered that when I first began my search that I had briefly dated Louise’s sister. Pretty amazing!! Of all the people in the room she was the one that I gravitated toward. And then the story. It was her speaking from her heart and sharing with the rest of us her deepest longings that led to her reconnecting with one of her tribe, me. Quite often we avoid speaking from our heart and sharing what has meaning. Instead we generate a water-downed version of what is important to us. People don’t get a chance to get who we are. When that occurs, it’s difficult for our tribe to find us.
