...
This morning I had a dream.
After e-mailing one of my dear soul brothers (whom I haven't spoken to in months) --- he showed up in my dreamtime, along with his little family.
We were at some sort of convention or gathering that hundreds of people were attending, and I found Dave with his baby daughter I have yet to meet, and his beautiful partner. I knew I loved this child deeply from the moment she entered this world, and as I was not lucid in this dream, I truly believed I was wrapping my arms around her for the first time. As I held this little baby, deep tears, from a very deep place, welled up within me and poured out.
It was so good to see my beautiful soul friend and his baby, and as I explored the convention, I found more of my soul friends, all from my community in Calgary. I left a few years ago after a breakup + so I could be with the ocean, and live more deeply in nature.
As I saw them one by one, I felt happy, excited, and at peace. I felt deep emotions. And as dinner was being served at this convention, I went to sit down and get my plate... but I couldn't find my seat. All the seats were taken, and then, as I looked for all the beings whom I loved... I realized... I couldn't find any of them. They had disappeared. I knew they weren't there anymore.
Deep grief welled up within me, and my tears bridged the gap between the dream world and this reality.
I woke up crying, and opened my eyes to my bright yellow room, and a cloudy day. I was back.
I knew of course, why I had this dream. (Well I think I do anyway...)
To let go of some of the grief of not being present in my soul family's day-to-day lives. To let go of grief. To open that much further. And to become reminded of just how important it is to reach out.

For anyone who has let themselves experience the depth of a true soul connection, you know the kind of depth that I'm talking about.
