Ray -
Thank you for taking my communication into a more
powerful possibility. You said:
" I suggest that a
'24-hour coach with absolute wisdom' may not be
available. However, what may be even more useful is available: a
community of coaches participating in and creating an empowering
conversation."
"Within a community of coaches
we can generate from the
Partnership field conversations for extraordinary relationship for
your
(and VIP's) empowerment and be empowered by that."
"Are you a request for coaching
from a Partnership community of
coaches for extraordinary relationship?"
Yes, Ray, I am.
" I offer to
be part of that community of coaches."
I accept your offer. What an extraordinary engagement to open.
"Each voice
has something unique to contribute to this
conversation. Each of us have Category 2 (what is laying around to
be
said) conversations to say about and for relationship. As a community
we
will invent new conversations for extraordinary relationship."
Unimaginable!
"Are there any others here
that will also offer to be part of
that community?"
Imagine the possible impact on all of us via this community.
This is definitely in the realm of what can't
be said in THIS artist/loner's reality.
Side note: This email group has made a huge difference for me just
in the few days I've been in it. I am completely engaged in the gift
of the Partnership exploration.
Thank you all.With great love,Robyn

Your sharing is incredible.
I've had the best/worst days since
the weekend. The
distinctions show up, alternately,
as completely inaccessible or
bullshit or some
ideal or ...who knows?
Meanwhile, what I'm mostly present to is
being totally
unnerved, rug-pulled-out
and upset. I know there were at least
a few people who
dropped out of the course
just before our fifth weekend - I can
actually get how
that would seem like a viable
option in the face of this
...what?...conversation.
I took on the empowerment
stand in my relationship with Vip, and
within three
days, I was completely convinced
that I should, in self-defense,
quit having
anything to do with him.
I need a 24-hour coach with absolute
wisdom; any
applicants?
Meanwhile, the background
is that there is infinite possibility
in the field we
can designate Partnership;
it's just that, well, the inhabitants
are (don't say
it) human beings.
I'm in the process of reconciling that for
myself. My own
humanity is only now starting
to become acceptable to me.
Hmmmmmm.
As Ray says, With great love,
Robyn
