In spite of being bed or couch bound, per my Dr’s orders, with a lovely upper respiratory infection, in spite of missing work both today and tomorrow and my stress about the financial ramifications of that necessity, in spite of my worry about my dad’s painful recovery from hernia surgery, and my usual conflict with Miss Artistic I am happier today than I’ve been in a while. And this is mainly due to being able to recently reconnect with so many people from my past.

As I wrote the other day, some of these friends (that oddly enough are from my Catholic school days) are planning on forming a long distance circle of sorts. My first assignment is to work on quarter calls for our first ritual.

To borrow words from my former Christian faith:

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
- Matthew 7:7

This feels like getting the perfect present, one so amazing that you would never have thought to ask for it, or didn’t even know was possible to receive. I have been sad for a long time about the lack of friends to share my path with. Ever since my former coven disbanded I have, with the exception of the occasional working with Lady Rose, been a solitary. It is so exciting for me to have a reason to write ritual again!!!

The coming together of these friends of mine is a true blessing for me. Not only am I overjoyed to no longer feel so alone in my Pagan faith, but I am equally touched by the fact that, even among those who follow a more traditional faith system, the rest of those I have reconnected with are accepting of my faith.

My world, over the past 8 years had grown exceedingly small. It was very easy to forget that there are wonderful people out there in it, and maybe there are more reasons than not to look for a way to leave the broomcloset behind.
