You know that feeling of utter confidence, when you are so sure that you're ready to fly? Or what about when you feel so sure that you are done -- I mean spell it out D-O-N-E -- with a situation or relationship?

Well I know those feelings. Recently, I was convinced beyond anything that I was stick-a-fork-in-it-DONE with a certain relationship with someone in my family who we’ll call Angie. On many levels, I was done with Angie. But I want to share a very interesting thing that occurred when I went a little deeper -- into myself, into our relationship, and into that feeling. 

One night I dreamt that I was riding someone's bike. I think it had a basket and bell so I know it wasn't mine. (It might have belonged to my Southern friend Pamela who each and every time refers to her bike very properly as a "bicycle".)

I once knew this guy. He was considered to be -- and was in my own experience -- very generous. He would easily give of his time and business expertise in order to help anyone, friend or stranger. It even jazzed him up to talk about how much he loved to give. He became animated and emotional when he spoke about how great it felt to serve and be in community in this way.

James Twyman writes, "You may feel the urge to return to the illusion of safety and security that separation offered as this reconciliation begins to manifest in the outer conditions of your life. You are in the transition phase, suspended between two trapezes. Slowly breathe in and breathe out, and say, 'I release the lesser to receive the greater.'"
