Oh Benji..
Do you remember being a kid and learning that Benjamin Franklin was an idiot and flew a kite in a storm and accidentally discovered electric currents?
That isn’t quite the story but the concept is there. The current.
I am a human battery of sorts. I take on stress and troubles that aren’t mine. I attract them without even trying. When I hug people, I can feel the transfer. (I know, I know, I can hear ya’ll now). Really?!?!?
Yes. Really. I feel their stress and troubles ease when I hug them.
I have been without a ground for many years now and I almost forgot what it was like to have a ground. My last real relationship was a grounding one. My ex husband was sometimes a ground. When he wanted to be.
Anyway, I was hugged today and it was an incredible relief to have been grounded. To have been seen and understood and accepted in that moment and then to have transferred that energy away.
Benji, thank-you for understanding all those years ago…..
