As planned, we shared many good stories, both from personal experience and
from the stories of others. It was a wonderful opportunity to share our
beliefs and re-affirm the things we hold as important. It was also an
opportunity for some to share their troubles in the circle, and for the
rest of us to support and comfort as we could.
In an odd turn, the subject of suicide came up at the end of the
evening. As it went around the Circle, we all affirmed that it is up to
each of us to do our very best to help those who are in such a bad
situation that they feel they must end it all. If a hand is extended to
you for help, it is your duty and your privilege as a human being to reach
back.
The Gathering also ran very VERY late! We hope everyone made it home
safely.
We would like to acknowledge all of you who came for sharing and for
making the Circle strong. We particularly thank Dawn and Jane and Dave,
for all they helped us with afterwards.
