Day three of the Landmark Forum is complete. Now the participants are back in their lives for two days. Tuesday's Evening Session will be interesting.

I love my family. I love my cast. I love. I am completely present to love at the moment. I am present to my commitment to people being extraordinary. An ongoing exploration of transformation in what it means to be alive.

I love you.

Peace.

Last night, the the Landmark Forum, Aeire came over to me during one sharing period to tell me something. She brought a young woman with her who also wanted to tell me something. This young woman was nervous about sharing with me.

She told me that I was the only reason she didn't flee the Landmark Forum on the first day. I made it safe for her. We didn't talk about the nature of my contribution to her. It really doesn't matter.

What matters is that her life will never be the same and I was instrumental in that.

I am still honored by her disclosure. I am moved, touched and inspired.

Edited to add this disclaimer. It occurred to me this morning that it would be possible for my friends to read this post and think I am being condescending. I am not. I am impressed. It might also be possible to read this post and think I believe that there is something that needs to be fixed in my friends. I do not. You are whole, complete and perfect I learn more from you than you could ever learn from me.

I know return you to your original entry.

There are many kinds of heartbreak. No matter what kind one feels, there is hurt.

I love my life. I would not trade away the training I have received from HAI and Landmark Education for anything. I refuse to return to a world given by impatience, cynicism, regret and resignation. I create my future and live into a world given by transformation.

It has a cost. Tonight I am making a payment. It's not good or bad nor is it right or wrong. It just is.

I have room for people to be exactly as they are. I love the people in my life when they are triumphing and when they are in a deep pit of despair. I love them when they are reaching out into their community for help and support and I love them when they are pulling back and muscling through their lives. I love them when they are free and when they are trapped.

I live in possibility. I know what is available for anyone who lives in possibility. I know what can give living to life in the present such that the future is full, satisfying and filled with peace, joy and love.

I also know what it means to live a life of quiet desperation.

And it breaks my heart. The more I feel connected to someone suffering, the more my heart aches.

Still, I live in possibility. And the future I am living into is one filled with love and compassion. It is a world in which human beings create and live lives given by passions, commitment, love, generosity, affection, dignity and joy.

I watched several of the people I love playing tonight. I am touched by them. Moved by their humanity. Inspired by their fierce loyalty. I love them. I cried while they played. I felt blessed to be in their presence. I feel blessed to know the people I know.

And I ache to know the people I know.

Love is what I contribute to this game. I intend to pour it forth.

Love is.
