Participant 1

Gary contacted the speaker, saying he is well and happy with the outcome. He had a breakthrough and wants to leave the hospital quickly. The speaker was triggered by something but Gary's message brought clarity and peace. The speaker feels privileged to accompany Gary and learns from his courage and willingness to go through a deep process. First, I want to share a little more with our brother Gary. I heard from him, he connected with me yesterday, in the afternoon, and he shared that, and I feel comfortable sharing this with you, that he is well, that he is happy with the outcome, and that he had a big breakthrough, and he is trying to get out of the hospital as fast as he can. I want to share that, at that moment, I was working with something that was triggering me, that was bothering me, and the moment I received his message, I began to cry, and I could see clearly what I'm doing here, what we're doing here, and suddenly that thing that was bothering me, I could see it as just wanting, and it gave me the peace and tranquility and love. I want to say that with Gary, the privilege of accompanying him, is a great learning for me, a great gift for me. When I first met him, I said, my sense was, this is someone who I want to honor, who I honor, and this experience of being with him, the courage, the willingness, to go through a very deep process, deep in my honor and respect for him, he's showing me how to do it.
